He is not really a Darkhorse, but given the fact that Kizer, Mahomes, Trubisky and Watson have dominated the QB talk for this draft, I really believe that Nate Peterman enters this draft with arguably the highest floor of all these prospects.
He commanded a prostyle offense, gets the ball out quickly, is athletic enough to escape pressure and make plays with his feet, and has some nicely developed nuances that will translate to the pro game arguably better then the proverbial top four guys that have been hyped thus far.
The only real knocks on Peterman have to do with size, and the fact that he likely does not have elite arm strength. Where he compensates is with his accuracy and ability to read a defence. The Kirk Cousins comparisons are not lazy ones – he looks a lot like him. I would think that you could easily develop this guy into at worst a quality #2 pivot. His upside may not be as great as some, but he is well-equipped to compete at the next level.
