In the Speed and Mobility Challenge, the quarterbacks were required to run through an obstacle course, throwing a ball at a target at the end of the course. Time would be deducted according to the accuracy of the throw. Garcia placed first in the event.

In the day’s second event, quarterbacks competed in an accuracy competition. Athletes here were required to throw three balls from two different stations and moving targets, and one final long pass at a moving target. Garcia’s 22 points were not enough to beat out Aaron Brooks’ 28 in this event, but because of Brooks’ poor first event, Garcia held the lead throughout the first day.

Watching Garcia throw, there were a few good signs. Mainly his knee did not seem to be bothering him at all as he was cutting through the obstacle course. Also, Garcia was able to throw with great accuracy despite heavy winds that presented difficulties for some of the other competitors.

During the event, Garcia also took a moment to explain his favorite play. The Blue Left XX Short 300 Jet Z Sluggo, which led to a touchdown to Owens in overtime to beat the Falcons this past season. The play has Garcia taking a three step drop while Owens, the primary receiver runs a quick slant. Garcia pump fakes the slant to pull the safety off as Owens heads off the field and Garcia let’s the pass fly.

When used to beat the Falcons, Bill Walsh confronted Steve Mariucci in the locker room saying “that was Beautiful, I figured it was coming.” To which Mariucci replied in jubilance “The Sluggo!”
