Nate Peterman

[RunKC]

Man I missed this guy and I'm sure not many know of him. He's really challenging Mahomes for best QB available in my eyes.

6'2 225 lbs
Strong armed and can fire bullets
Pro style and spread experience
Can be lethal with his legs just like Alex
Good footwork
Pretty accurate on all levels of the field
Steps up and stands tall against pressure

This kid beat Clemson in Clemson (5 TD/0 INT performance) and was the most efficient QB against ranked teams.
Also watch him at Iowa. Clutch in primetime.

Here's his highlight reel:

6 - yup you're right
0 - some tackles end up being 6'10" and many receivers and DBs are 5'11" or 5'10" so its convention to have this as a placeholder.
3 - yup inches
4 - eighths of an inch = 4/8 = 1/2.

Edit: So, a receiver that's 5'11-1/4" would get denoted as 5112

Thanks. It seems to me like it would be way easier to say 6'3 and 1/2".

But I guess I'm old school.

I agree with you. It's kind of like the new math they teach in schools these days. **** if I know what they are trying to teach my kid... but if he learns how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide... KaDo's.

If I had to pick a quarterback winner today, Pitt's Nathan Peterman would be it. Ball zips out. Jimmy Garoppolo lite.

If you asked me who Peterman reminds me of in college, its Drew Brees. Not the strongest arm in the world, but he's pretty solid all the way around. He can scramble a little, he steps up in the pocket, he delivers the ball on target.

Apparently people ready my stuff...

Sports Illustrated says he's been the best QB in Mobile by far and that he's reminding scouts of Kirk Cousins. They're saying he could be a 3rd rounder.

I'm excited to watch the game this weekend but in the end, I sure as hell hope that Chiefs come away with a QB in the first two rounds, whether it's Peterman, Mahomes or the kid from Cal, who put up just as impressive numbers as Goff, Davis Webb.

Drew Brees is the exception that proves the rule.

It's like people that compare undersized righthanders that throw 90 with movement to Greg Maddux. No, Greg Maddux was physically limited but freakishly precise and that allowed him to overcome it. Far far FAR more people with that skill-set fail. Like, 95% of them fail.

Nothing about Drew Brees makes sense. If you draft guys with the physical attributes of Drew Brees, 99 times out of 100 you'll be lucky to get Chase Daniel for your trouble.

If he's our pick, it's just the same song and dance; a cheap flyer with little upside and even less of a shot at really making a difference.

I agree with you about Brees' transformation in the pros. He really worked on his arm strength in the pros. If you watch them both in college, they look identical. That's why I made the comparison. I would never argue that Peterman looks like Brees now.

Jacksonville kid. That HS team kicked ass.
