Doesn't look like it:

Only 19 QBs. NFLDraftScout.com has Paulus as #50 QB and going undrafted.

Huh?

Here's a quick writeup from a Texas blog reporting at the combine that has a nice little shout-out to Thad. Sounds like he's at least impressing personally at the combine. I'd also say that his description of Thad's prospects sound about right. Here's hoping he throws well!


Thaddeus Lewis, QB Duke: I loved this guy. Amidst all these monstrous athletes, Lewis was the Jai Lucas of the bunch--listed generously at Duke as 6'1", in reality you have to round up to list him as an even 6'0". What made Lewis awesome was that he knew it. And hey, everything else about his college career was something of an upset, too--four year starter at Duke, culminating in a 5-7 senior season that included consecutive wins over NC State, Maryland and Virginia. He concluded his career with over 10,000 yards passing and 67 touchdowns.

Besides his productive college career, he's got at least two other things going for him. First of all, I noticed he had huge hands and asked him what he measured. He told me 9 5/8 inches, which is big. (By comparison, McCoy's hands are 9 3/8 inches and Bradford's 9 1/2.) Second, he's going to interview well, and if he's a longshot to make any NFL roster, I won't be shocked if someone gives him a late-round Draft flyer to at least bring him to training camp. Still, a great day throwing the ball at the Combine tomorrow is a necessity.

So big VO will get his workout tomorrow at the combine.

And I want to add how much of an honor this is for Thaddeus Lewis. There were only 19 quarterbacks in the county that were invited to the nfl combine, and Thad was one of them.

Congrats to Lewis, and Oghobaase.

I love that writeup about Thad, but he's wrong. Thad definitely measured at 6'0 at the combine (pretty sure they aren't in the business of rounding there). I believe it was actually six and a quarter. Minor detail, but I think he's dead on about everything else. I really hope the Panthers give him a look.

If you are going to go in late rounds, it is better to not get drafted at all in football. I think, if Paulus wants to wear a headset, he should hope not to get drafted.

Thad's day started at 11. I believe he's done already...

I saw that, it was a good interview, Thad came off well. Announcers kept asking him what he thought Spiller's time would be in the 40. I mean, throw a dart at a board.

Thad was a top performer in the 40-yard dash, with a 4.84. For comparison, Jarrett Brown was the fastest amongst QBs with a 4.54.

OT, Tebow's time in the 3-cone was a Beastly 6.66.

Thanks for the updates. It would be good to see some more Duke guys in the NFL.

Vince Oghobaase/DT/Duke: Oghobaase struggled with injuries last season and it seems to have sapped him of quickness and explosion. He was slow in the 40 and could not get under 5.4. Oghobaase looked marginally athletic during drills. He's a dominant lineman at the top of his game, but has not been able to perform at that level for some time.

Both Thad and Vince had bad days. Thad had trouble throwing.

"Lewis was inconsistent to most levels of the field, except on the deep ball - where his wounded ducks forced receivers to slow and, at times even stop their routes, to wait for the ball."
