Wind won't be a problem for Paxton Lynch.

By all accounts, the former Memphis quarterback put on a throwing exhibition Wednesday at his wind-swept pro day. Lynch, measured a shade under 6-foot-7, showed his arm strength in difficult conditions, completing one ball that traveled 65 yards in the air. That could appeal to teams in the northeast.

Lynch has been linked to the New York Jets because, of the top three quarterbacks, he's most likely to be available with the 20th pick.
