I am thankful that Montana prioritizes media coverage for our pro day. The neighbors are having their pro day today and the coverage has been sparse, with nothing coming directly from the university media department. This is one of the most important days in these athletes lives, and I appreciate Montana prioritizing the event. Go Griz!

Pro Day Tomorrow (April 2)

- Start date
You all have no idea about the caliber of the CFL when you keep saying this Griz or that Griz could have a nice career up here. The last Griz player to make a roster up here was Travon Vann, not Jordan Canada, not Jordan Johnson, not Dante Olson, not Dalton Sneed, not Sammy Akem. You think Hill or Gubner can play up here? Everyone of the guys I just mentioned got cut in the pre-season. Pay for cable.
Respectfully to all of the guys you listed, Gubner is a comparably WAY better prospect, in my opinion, than anyone else you listed there.

Gubner is going to play in the NFL, not CFL.
You know my favorite team, and I've been DEEPLY hoping we add him to our stable of young prospects on the d-line. Gubner can play. The team that gets him will be getting an absolute steal of a value.

3 cone, 7.01. 1st. 6.1.7. height, 228 lbs. Hand 91/8. Wing. 74-5/8.
10 yard split, 1.62. At Combine, those ahead were all 1.54 and 1.59.
I compare Hill to O'Connell, who was on a roster in the NFL this year.
I think O’Connell did 6.97 in 3 cone, had 38.5 in vertical, 4.70 in 40. Didn't lift. 10'2" broad. 1.63 in 10 split. 6.1.1 height, 227 weight. Hand 91/2, Wing 77-7/8.
Only 7 lb's benched at Combine. The lowest was 16. So, 15 would have been 8th.

For reference, here's O'Connell
I know he played for the Cats, but a side by side comparison of Braxton Hill vs Nolan Askelson at their respective pro days:
Hill (6' 1 7/8" 228 lbs)
40: 4.77
Bench: 15 reps
Vert: 32.5"
Broad: 9' 4"
Shuttle: 4.29
L-Drill: 7.01
Askelson (6' 1" 219 lbs)
40: 4.55
Bench: 27 (Would lead all LBs at the 2024 combine)
Vert: 33"
Broad: 9' 8"
Shuttle: 4.41
L-Drill: 7.03

Askelson had a great 40 time. Truly terrific. But he was considerable slower than Hill in the Shuttle and a bit slower in the L-Drill. Hill is 11 pounds heavier and 7/8" taller. Great bench by Askelson. And a bit better broad and vert. by Askelson. Hill had more tackles and sacks per game. I always thought Hill was a better player. But Askelson has some nice numbers.

Gubner if he is drafted which I doubt Seattle will try to steal him.

He did well. I was still surprised at the lower amount of BP reps.

I think Hill has a shot at a FA mini-camp invitation. What we see are the athleticism of the player, we are not privy to what the scouts are, such as skill, football IQ, their S2 results, we do know his career performance. Also, how much importance is the BP really given anymore? It was THE standard for strength 40 years ago. There is so much more involved now.

Well, there you go. Probably a combination of nerves and other things.

Found this pretty easily. Oddly enough, I can’t find any posts in this thread by PR predicting Gub would get drafted. Was it in a different thread?
