Thoughts on Buffalo Bills fifth-round pick Nathan Peterman

Nathan Peterman was my No. 5 quarterback in the 2017 draft class, just behind Patrick Mahomes and ahead of DeShone Kizer.

This Pittsburgh alum is a technician, with the most refined fundamentals in this entire quarterback class.

At 6’2”, 225 pounds he doesn’t have enormous size but isn’t hindered by a lack of height. He doesn’t have a rocket arm either. Those two things likely led to his fall into the fifth round.

Peterman has vast experience in a traditional “pro-style” offense. He’s taken many reps from under center, is comfortable with the intricate ball-handling that comes on a variety of play-action fakes, and he operated many bootlegs while with the Panthers.
