Pictured above is Nathan Peterman, a 6’2 and 225 pound quarterback out of the University of Pittsburgh. Clearly, he’s not the biggest quarterback in the 2017 NFL Draft, and he won’t be what every scout is looking for when they look for a franchise quarterback. However, he has the skill set to eventually become a starting quarterback on Sunday’s.
Not every great quarterback lit up the stat sheets in college, nor were they Heisman trophy candidates. Nathan Peterman would be considered your average joe. In fact, he has a lot of work to do this offseason to prove he should even get drafted. Do I believe he will get drafted? Absolutely. What round will we see a player like him drafted? Last year, Jacoby Brissett got drafted in the third-round, so anything is possible. Normally, someone like Peterman is a fifth or sixth-round draft pick.
When you look at Nathan Peterman’s tape, it won’t make your jaw drop. Did Kirk Cousins make your jaw drop when he came out of Michigan State? Unless you are a Spartans fan, probably not.
When I watch Nathan Peterman, he reminds me of Kirk Cousins. Neither quarterback has a big frame but they stand in the pocket and deliver multiple throws, even with serious amounts of pressure. Peterman’s pocket mobility is what really stands out to me. He averages about six rushing attempts per game with an average of 3.5 yards per carry. But, he can extend plays with his feet and trusts his arm to deliver a great pass down field.
Does Peterman always make the perfect pass? With a 60.3 completion percentage, I’d think not. For statistical purposes though, he’s averaging almost five touchdowns for every one interception (19TDs to four INTs). That’s not bad considering he’s only thrown for 2,114 yards on the 2016 season.
