Pro Day: 03/07/17

40 Yrd Dash: 5.22
20 Yrd Dash: 2.97

7.47 3-cone (would have been 3rd best among OL at the combine) and 41 bench press reps (6 more reps than any linemen at the combine) are excellent. Strong dude from Texas who also competed in the shot put at Purdue. Fifth-year senior and football captain who started 40-straight games at right guard.

PFF named him the most improved linemen in the Big Ten through 9 weeks of the season:

Big Ten
OG Jordan Roos, Purdue

Roos was on our list of most underrated Big Ten players last week, and is the obvious choice to headline this week’s most improved list. His overall grade of 51.0 last season barely got him into the top 300 at his position, but this year through nine weeks he is at 86.7 and ranks fourth in the country.

In 407 pass block snaps he has given up just eight total pressures (one sack), compared to 23 on 580 reps in 2015. His run blocking has also been significantly better, as he ranks seventh nationally in the category.

Holy hell he's massive. Would be cool if he were to stick. Looks like a tough S.O.B.

Carroll and Schneider seemed pretty pumped about signing Roos during their post-draft presser.

Roos appears to be in the Top 10 or so in guaranteed money.

[Roos] scored a 3.38 in TEF so there’s a lot of athletic potential here. He would’ve been the most explosive O-liner at the combine (topping Forrest Lamp’s 3.23).

His "tef" is inflated because of his 41 reps on the bench

Just goes to show you the draft is an inexact science.

In a weak OL class, how did someone not spend a 7th rounder on this guy ?

Any relation to Michael Roos, the old Tennessee left tackle? Hope so, the elder Roos was an All-Pro.

Exactly. Why wasn't this guy taken in the draft. Serious question for the .net experts. What are his "cons"?

Mainly footwork stuff. He's already pretty explosive but he needs to get a lot stronger in his lower body to become a better drive blocker.
