Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.

The NFL Draft hype season generally consists of three phases: the Senior Bowl, the Combine, and team pro days. With on-the-mend underclassman Sam Bradford ineligible or unable to participate in the first two parts of the evaluation process, all that was left for the presumptive top overall pick was his team's pro day. No pressure, right?
Apparently not. Because Bradford put on an aerial show that left the assembled NFL experts dumbstruck-- even Todd McShay. A sampling of the reactions from across the internets:
Newly minted Seahawks coach Pete Carroll:
Sam bradford had a great workout at his pro day... He lit it up!
NFL Network draft guru Mike Mayock (via Ross Tucker):
one of the best pro days he's seen in six years. Deep touch/accuracy "unbelievable"
Legendary Cowboys talent evaluator Gil Brandt:
[Bradford's performance] almost left me speechless. And that’s saying something. [...] It really was a treat to watch, and I think everyone here was in awe of Bradford’s performance. In fact, he put on the best quarterback workout by a draft prospect that I’ve seen since I watched a private workout Troy Aikman put on for us with the Cowboys in California.
Sounds like we know who our newest St. Louis Ram will be. Good luck with that, Sam.

Would be a great pick
Bradford will be a star. No questions. Even as a Longhorn, I’m rooting for him too do good. The hardest part with these top pick QBs is the situation. The wrong situation can ruin a guy, I hope that will not be the case here
