COLLEGE STATION -- All of the talk may surround Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III, but Ryan Tannehill stole some of that attention away on Thursday.
The former Texas A&M and Big Spring quarterback held his pro day in College Station on Thursday in front of several NFL scouts. After his workout, Tannehill is now considered to be a top ten pick heading into this year's NFL draft.
There we doubts going into the workout due to a broken foot Tannehill suffered in January, but his performance may have erased those worries. Tannehill threw 68 passes that showed off his arm strength, accuracy and mobility. He also ran the 40-yard-dash in 4.62 seconds; that time is faster than Andrew Luck's time.
Tannehill's fate will be sealed when the 2012 NFL Draft begins on Thursday, April 26 in New York.
