Combine 40 Time: 4.61.
Pro Day 40 Time: DNP.

3/18/11: Blaine Gabbert had an outstanding Pro Day. He completed 47-of-50 passes with two drops. He showed great deep accuracy, prompting many – including Mike Mayock and Michael Lombardi – to declare that Gabbert will be the first quarterback off the board. Mayock likened Gabbert’s Pro Day to Matt Ryan and Sam Bradford’s. Lombardi, meanwhile, said he’d draft Gabbert if he were the general manager of the Panthers.
I was down on Gabbert early in the draft process, but after watching more of him and observing how he handles himself, I’ve really warmed up to him. He’s more talented than I thought he was, and he seems like he’ll be a great leader. He also has the cerebral part of football down, so that gives him a big edge over Cam Newton.
