WATCH: Chase Cota Oregon Pro Day Interview
12 former Ducks returned to the Moshofsky Center in Eugene for Oregon's annual Pro Day on Tuesday.
Chase Cota may not have been invited to the NFL Combine but he still put his best foot forward after a strong showing.
He met with reporters after and you can find some of his quotes along with video below.
Q: What kind of resource can your dad be having played at the level he did?
Cota: "Everything. From the offseason training like now leading up to the Pro Day. Him going through it and doing all that and understanding what the interviews will be like. What it'll be like moving to a new city and what they'll expect out of you and everything. He's just the most helpful hand possible it's amazing that I have that resource."
Q: What were the conversations around Bo throwing for you?
Cota: "We were just figuring out a script the last couple of weeks what we wanted to run and just threw the last couple days together. It was perfect. It was really fun going out with my buddy I spent all last year with. It was exciting."
Q: Is there a player comp that you make that you've been telling teams?
Cota: "When people ask I think of taller guys. I think of A.J. Green. I don't think of guys necessarily in my class just guys that I've gotten to watch over the years. I'd say him and when I was little Plaxico Burress and then also Tee Higgins now in the league. I'm 6'4" and pretty skinny but a high flyer I believe and I think I run good routes."
Q: What do you tell NFL teams when they ask what kind of player they'll get on Sundays?
Cota: "I just say just an all around guy that can play special teams and runs really good routes. Usually when you say really good routes it implies maybe not the fastest but also I'm gonna come out and probably run a 4.4. I think I got the speed too. You don't have to worry about me and I'm gonna show up every day for sure."
Q: What do the next few weeks look like for you do you have visits lined up?
Cota: "Nothing right now but I know that there are some teams that definitely want to talk. Other than that we'll just see kind of how it goes tomorrow when some numbers come out. Talk on the phone with a few people. I'll just be back in Oregon training with my old strength staff, with my pops."
