Agreed

This guy looks solid as hell. Is he really 6"2 though? Looks tiny out there.

Yep, 6'2, 225. Not great size but not terrible either. Same size as Rodgers and Garoppolo pretty much.

If he really is that height and weight then that's perfectly fine size. Maybe it's because he doesn't stand tall like Aaron Rodgers, so he loses a few inches

He looked ok at the Senior Bowl, nothing special to me. One thing he'll need to learn is how to throw better on the move. It's what both Montana & Young did so well. Not comparing him to them, just saying Peterman's got some things to improve on. Really the only QB I was impressed with was Davis Webb...he made some nice throws & showed nice touch on his deep passes.

What does that even mean doesn't stand tall lol? They do height and weight at the senior bowl so that's really his size

I thought he looked a little too amped up at the senior bowl. Maybe he was trying to dispel the concerns about his arm strength because he was putting a little too much mustard on some of those throws. Ball had a lot of zip coming out of his hand.

I really like how clean his footwork and mechanics are. He moved well around a muddy pocket and kept his eyes downfield. A lot to like about Peterman.

He was excellent for what mattered most, the practices, the best QB by far during the week. Bears coached praised him for how quickly he was able to pick up the offense.

The Chicago Bears coaching staff is overseeing the North team, which includes Peterman, and Bears coach John Fox has been pleased with him. "He picked up the offense very quickly," Fox said. "Our offensive coaches were pretty impressed with that. He looked good."

But based on Senior Bowl practice film of the first two days, Peterman's performance has made him look even better than advertised. Through two days, combining his work in seven-on-seven drills (of which there are no lineman involved) and full team drills, Peterman has gone 16 of 19 with one throwaway, and 2 of 3 on passes 15 or more yards.

More impressive, Peterman has made ideal play progressions and decisions on 17 of 19 throws, with just one truly incorrect read. Keep in mind this is Peterman's first time in the Bears' offense with entirely new receivers. Showcasing poise in reading the field and timing with receivers are the toughest hurdles for quarterback prospects in an all-star game setting.

To put it in perspective, those numbers are on par with past Senior Bowl standouts Russell Wilson and Derek Carr, who I have charted using the same process.


By comparison, Peterman's North roster quarterback competitor, Iowa's CJ Beathard, was just 9 for 16 (with three receiver drops) but with four incorrect progressions. Beathard has looked noticeably less confident and poised in his read progressions and far less ready for the NFL.

Sometimes in the draft process, one interview, one note or one play can be an incitement of a player's NFL excitement or pessimism. In speaking with scouts and reflecting on film, Peterman had that moment on Day 2.

On the second throw of team drills, Peterman took a five-step drop, looked off the left side safety and placed a pass over the linebacker before the safety could break on Florida International tight end Jonnu Smith — a perfectly thrown 10-yard out pattern. His quick drop, timing of his decision, velocity control to work between defensive gaps and ball placement along the sideline wowed scouts in the moment and on reflection, and the attributes likely will continue to wow for months to come.

Most scouts and evaluators leave Mobile before the game even takes place because the majority of the emphasis is on everything that came before. Peterman played very well int that period. Webb played well in the game, was up and down throughout the week, much like during his college career showing inconsistent accuracy. I don't expect that to change in the NFL. He's got the arm, he doesn't have the accuracy and guys who don't have it in college, don't usually develop it in the NFL either.

I think Peterman is easily the better overall prospect, doesn't have the same physical traits but processes things better, is more consistently accurate and has the experience of playing in a pro-style offense.

When under pressure this year, #Pitt QB Nathan Peterman had a QB rating of 103.5 while throwing 8 TDs and just 1 INT. #SeniorBow

I think his low is Shaun Hill and his high is Derek Carr.

And the issues with arm strength can be somewhat addressed with improved mechanics and footwork. You'd be surprised at how big of an impact having the right foot placement, timing, and arm stroke can have in order to increase the ball velocity as well as accuracy.

I'm pretty curious as to what someone like Shanahan could do with a QB like Peterman. He fits the profile of what their offense demands. Fast release, good mobility, decent accuracy, ability to quickly move through his progressions, reads the field well, if he can upgrade his footwork, maybe those Cousins comparisons could really become valid.

Peterman reminds of Cody Kessler, only a little bit more mobile.

He has become my 3rd favorite QB in this draft behind Watson and Mahomes.. I'm cool with the niners taking 1 of the 3..

He is in my top 3 now. Would be fine with him as well as a couple of veterans this year.

Wouldn't mind taking a chance on this kid as a mid rounder. He's got enough tools for shanny Jr to work with.
