LOS ANGELES - Given an out, USC quarterback Sam Darnold declined to move up his throwing session at his school's pro day on Wednesday, choosing instead to throw under a steady rain in front of a throng of NFL decision-makers.
"I don't think it would have been fair to change the schedule with all of the other guys training for the pro day," Darnold said. "So I just wanted my guys to be comfortable -- my teammates -- that was first and foremost.
"But I also think it was a perfect opportunity to be able to throw in the rain, and show these guys I could throw in the rain.
