Memphis quarterback Paxton Lynch had a pre-draft workout with the Dallas Cowboys last week and, this week, he wrote about the experience for NFL.com.
In the piece, which is a pretty interesting read if you’re interested in the pre-draft process, Lynch said the Cowboys’ staff challenged him with deep throws during the workout, which was just fine with him because he views arm strength as, well, a strength.
“They had me do some three-step drop stuff, but it was mostly deeper drops and deeper throws. They had me throwing some long out routes, and some deeper comeback routes across the field," Lynch wrote. "They had me push the ball vertically on some seam routes and deep corner routes. Then they put me on the run for some of it, to see my athleticism and see me outside the pocket. I definitely enjoy pushing the ball down the field, and that's what they were most impressed about, how strong my arm was.”
For what it’s worth, Lynch added that he liked the Cowboys’ staff.
"They're very excited about the draft,” Lynch said. "You could tell there's a lot of energy in that building."
