West Virginia Pro Day

Per NFL Prospect analyst Gil Brandt:

Ten former Mountaineers, including QB Pat White, worked out for 25 NFL representatives indoors on FieldTurf at the West Virginia Pro Day on March 12.

NFL.com’s Steve Wyche reported that the versatile White said he would run passing routes if any scouts were interested, but there were no takers.

White, who led the Mountaineers to a 9-4 record and a 31-30 win over North Carolina in the Meineke Car Care Bowl in 2008, measured in at 6-0 1/4 and 202 pounds. He participated in position drills but otherwise stood on his numbers from the NFL combine in Indianapolis, which included position-best times of 4.55 seconds in the 40-yard dash and A 35-inch vertical leap.

Among the other notables:

OLB Mortty Ivy (6-1 5/8 and 239 pounds) put up 40 times of 4.84 and 4.78. He had a 28 1/2-inch vertical and a 9-foot, 2-inch broad jump with times of 4.44 in the short shuttle and 7.15 in the three-cone drill. He put up 17 reps on the bench press at 225 pounds.

G Greg Isdaner (6-3 5/8 and 324 pounds) had 40 times of 5.29 and 5.28 seconds. He had a 25 1/2-inch vertical leap and an 8-foot, 6-inch broad jump, with times of 4.75 in the short shuttle and 7.73 in the three-cone drill. He didn’t participate in the bench press at the pro day.

OL Ryan Stanchek (6-3 3/8 and 298 pounds) turned in times of 5.32 and 5.31 in the 40. He had a 27 1/2-inch vertical and an 8-foot, 7-inch broad jump with a 4.74 short shuttle and a 7.65 three-cone drill. He put up 29 reps on the bench press.

Some people say that Pat White has hurt his stock by not running as a wide receiver and staying as a QB, for instance Mike Mayock has him graded as a 2nd rounded as WR/KR but 6th as a QB. How can he be ranked lower a position he excelled at compared to one he has never done? Makes no sense to me, I think he is a 4th round guy regardless. As for the remaining WVU guys, Stanchek and Isdaner could both see themselves on the ticker on Sunday as potential mid-late picks but I haven't seen enough from Ivy to warrant a selection.
