One week, one day from AE’s next big chance
Monday March 08th 2010, 1:05 pm
Filed under: AE

Odds on a webcam feed for this?The Greatest App Ever didn’t get to do too much at the recent NFL Combine. Stupid injury! He wasn’t 100%, so he decided to wait and show off the speedy goodness at his pro day. That day is March 16. Next Tuesday.

Any regrets of not giving it the ‘ol hampered try when all the pro world was watching? Nope.

Q. Tell us about the hamstring. Did you consider skipping the NFL Combine because of it?

A. I strained my hamstring about two weeks before the Combine while running routes at wide receiver. It was disappointing because I had been working so hard to prepare for the Combine. However, I decided to go because it wasn’t affecting my ability to throw passes. I could still play quarterback. My hamstring felt fine when I was playing quarterback. To tell you the truth, it almost feels completely healed. I decided to wait until (Appalachian State’s) Pro Day on March 16 to run my 40-yard dash and do all the other tests, along with go through the wide receiver drills. If my hamstring isn’t already 100-percent, it will be by then, or maybe even stronger than 100-percent.

Q. Do you feel a big relief after finishing the Combine?

A. Maybe a little relief. It would’ve been a big relief to do everything this past weekend. I couldn’t because (of the injury), but I will be able to do everything at my Pro Day. I still have another day to prove myself.

In interviews, most teams asked him the “is playing QB and only QB a deal breaker for you?” What do you think he said?

And by the way, enjoy 22!

NOTHING WOULD BE FINER. More AE plans.

Right now the only private workout is with Carolina. I have a rescheduled workout with the Colts and Dolphins because they can’t make it to my pro day. The Panthers workout will be on March 18th. All of these workouts will be held in school. The Panthers have been showing a good amount of interest more than any team.

I plan on doing wide receiver and quarterback drills on my pro day on the 16th.

I am back in South Carolina right now and I am continuing to workout and head up to my school for the pro day next week.




Thought he looked good throwing the ball, it came out quick and on target. What was it Charles Davis said….he has the it factor and watch out for that little man!! I personally think that if AE had ran(like we ALL know he can) and done all the other drills at the combine…….it might NOT have been the Tim Teblow…i mean Tim Tebow show. Good luck on the 16th, show’em what cha got!!!

Can’t believe I’m saying this but, I don’t care about Armanti Edwards or football right now.

Its time to dance.

Bite your tongue.

Comment by Dan 03.08.10 @ 3:33 pm

I can’t believe you’re saying that, either. Best case, assuming we win tonight, all we can reasonably hope for is a one-and-done against a two or three seed.

Comment by DRM 03.08.10 @ 3:48 pm

I thought I saw there was some interest a workout with the Panthers and one other team. Am I dreaming or did anyone else see something like that?

Though I would love to see AE at QB for some team I doubt he would get much playing time in that position (for a lot of reasons). If I’m right I would rather see him play every Sunday in a different position. Wherever he ends up I know he’s going to make a difference and represent ASU very well indeed.

Let us enjoy basketball season for a moment, eh Appfan? There’s finally some excitement about hoops around here. Or is Appfan still feeling surly about HWSNBN? C’mon, get over it. Get on the bandwagon. Catch the Buzz….

DRM, I’m supposed to be the wet blanket around here. It’s all about getting to the dance.

Comment by Appnaysayer 03.08.10 @ 4:26 pm

I’ve been stung!

Comment by clayton 03.08.10 @ 4:27 pm

Wow, Clayton really does have the bball bug.

Comment by herbstreitsucks 03.08.10 @ 4:28 pm

The Greenwood paper had a big front page story on AE and the combine. There were three teams mentioned that showed a good bit of interest, one of them being Carolina. Right after that Jake was cut. Hmmm.

Comment by App in Greenwood, SC 03.08.10 @ 4:34 pm

Yeah, I know, but you seemed absent today and I didn’t want these young guys (children?) to become overly exuberant.

I’ve always argued (unsuccessfully, of course) with my ACC-fan friends that a tournament like the SoCon is far more interesting/exciting than, say, the ACC tournament. We and all the other SoCon teams know the only way we even get to travel somewhere to serve as cannon fodder is to win our tournament, whereas bigger conferences always send several representatives to the NCAAs.

So, on the ” . . . all about getting to the dance” point, no argument. Better to go and get whacked than to slink home having lost to a conference foe. At least the conference champion gets to hang a banner touting that accomplishment, and perhaps one saying, effectively, “we went.” The other 11 schools don’t get to make either of those statements.

Comment by DRM 03.08.10 @ 4:39 pm

I still prefer football, however. And futbol.

Comment by DRM 03.08.10 @ 4:44 pm

The Line is

WOFFORD 3 Appalachian State

Wouldnt want to bet with my heart, but think we should win and cover.

Comment by cold beer 03.08.10 @ 5:25 pm

It makes sense they’re favored. They will probably get to wear their home uniforms, too, since they have a better record than we do and since we’re both division winners.

Not that uniforms should matter. I think football has it correct on unis, anyway–wear your colors when you’re at home.

CHECK THIS OUT!! This is Armanti’s newest Journal update, just posted 30 minutes or so ago… this is an excerpt:

“Right now the only private workout is with Carolina. I have a rescheduled workout with the Colts and Dolphins because they can’t make it to my pro day. The Panthers workout will be on March 18th. All of these workouts will be held in school. The Panthers have been showing a good amount of interest more than any team.”

Oh yeah. Sweeeeet Caroline…

Careful! I always like Neil Diamond. Not sure I’m comfortable with you associating his music with the Panthers.

Comment by DRM 03.08.10 @ 5:52 pm

The Panthers are more like “Brother Love’s Travelin’ Salvation Show” and Jake is now a “Solitary Man” after Peppers’ “I Am I Said….”

Comment by Appnaysayer 03.08.10 @ 5:57 pm

The Panthers have never had the energy of “Brother Love,” not even on the most Hot August Night.

Wasn’t it Davidson that used the “Sweet Caroline” tune during their Curry days?

Comment by DRM 03.08.10 @ 6:02 pm

if ae can catch the ball well i’d love to see him at caroline, they’re in need of another quick wideout. the moose is sick but he’s gettin old.

Comment by tang 03.08.10 @ 6:05 pm

Panther fans sing Sweet Caroline in the stadium after wins every time… it’s played over the loud speakers.

Davidson uses the song as well… they sing it during games. I’ve heard some say it might as well be their fight song.

Comment by appstategrad2008 03.08.10 @ 6:58 pm

Man it hurts watching his highlight videos over and over again. What a player and what a shame that he’ll never have the same play making opportunities as he did at app. lets just hope someone takes a chance on him..cause I know that he wont disappoint. I hope he can get the 40 ran in under 4.5, if he does it will help his chances i think for someone to draft him as a wide reciever. He has the potential to be something special at reciever but then again I’ve never seen him play the position. I’d have to belive that someone with his athletic ability would have to have some hands on him. He’s got relatively large hands too, for his size. I just miss him terribly. Who are yall wanting to see start next year? I have still yet to see jamal Jackson throw a ball so I have to favor Deandre. Deandre has got the wheels and he has a heck of an arm, I just dont know about his accuracy.

Comment by bob 03.09.10 @ 2:48 am

You think Richie will throw to him if he throws routes?

That would be the most awesome thing in the world, ever.

Comment by clayton 03.09.10 @ 6:53 am

That would be pretty awesome Clayton.

Comment by bob 03.09.10 @ 4:04 pm

If Richie throws to Armanti we will know because the world is likely to implode.

Comment by appstategrad2008 03.09.10 @ 4:33 pm

Clayton….don’t you ever work?! Why don’t you go stare at the radio. I wish I knew what the traffic report was? Apparently there was this crazy redheaded guy on the SCDOT and it screwed everything up for the day. DANGIT!
