On Wednesday, NFL Network provided coverage of Baylor’s pro day, which featured quarterback Robert Griffin III and wide receiver Kendall Wright. Provided below are quotes and video links from NFL Network’s coverage:
– “What it did was confirm for me everything I thought I saw on tape. And what I saw on tape was great touch and accuracy on the deep ball, a live arm although occasionally inconsistent. Are there a couple of mechanical flaws here and there he has to work on? Absolutely, but so does every college quarterback that comes into the NFL.” – Mike Mayock on quarterback Robert Griffin III’s performance at Baylor’s pro day
– “He was the headline; we already knew about Robert Griffin III. To me, it was an important day for Kendall Wright…When you put the tape on and you watch Kendall Wright play football, he plays fast. I don’t care what his 40 [yard dash] was at the Combine; the kid plays fast. He caught the football, he ran fluid routes – he’s a first-round wide receiver in my book. If he lasts beyond the top 20, I’d be surprised.” – Mayock on wide receiver Kendall Wright’s performance at Baylor’s pro day
– Analyst Mike Mayock discusses quarterback Robert Griffin III, wide receiver Kendall Wright and running back Terrance Ganaway’s performances at Baylor’s pro day:

Panthers C Ryan Kalil & Actor Colin Hanks Featured on The Rich Eisen Podcast Today at 2:00 PM ET — Available for Download on NFL.com & iTunes
The latest edition of The Rich Eisen Podcast debuts on NFL Network Thursday, March 22 at 2:00 PM ET, and re-airs Friday, March 23 at 12 Midnight ET. It is also available for download on NFL.com and iTunes.
Kicking off this week’s edition of The Rich Eisen Podcast are Eisen’s interviews with the new quarterback for the Denver Broncos Peyton Manning and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell from NFL Network’s 30 hours of live coverage this week.
Eisen speaks with Manning minutes after his introductory press conference in Denver for a conversation about the reason he joined the Broncos, the time he spent meeting with various teams throughout the free agency process and if he did not want to play for an NFC team because he didn’t want to face Eli Manning in the playoffs until the Super Bowl.
Eisen also speaks with Goodell regarding the punishments handed down in response to the New Orleans Saints’ bounty scandal.
Pro Bowl center for the Carolina Panthers, Ryan Kalil, appears in-studio to discuss quarterback Cam Newton’s record-setting rookie season, where his brother Matt Kalil might land in the upcoming NFL Draft and more.
Actor Colin Hanks also appears in-studio for a wide-ranging discussion about his favorite team – the San Francisco 49ers – playing fantasy football and his upcoming projects.
