Five things to know about new Bills QB Nathan Peterman
1. He Put Up Big-Time Numbers In A Pro-Style Offense……………
"To have some familiarity with that I think is going to help me a lot in Buffalo," Peterman said. Bills coach Sean McDermott stressed that Peterman's experience was a big factor in what attracted the Bills to him. "When you look at his accuracy and the timing of his throws at the position and his ability to work from under center, that was important for us," McDermott said. "That’s not something you see very often in a college game."............
2. He's Gone Through Adversity...........
"He’s learned some valuable lessons early on in his young life," McDermott said. "Went into a new situation, basically earned the respect of his teammates and then goes and takes his team and wins some big-time football games."
3. He Played His Best Against The Best...........
Peterman became the first player to throw for at least five touchdowns and no interceptions against an AP top-three opponent since 2004. "He led his football team to a win against the eventual national champions," McDermott said. "At Clemson. That’s hard to do. The leadership part of the job, at quarterback, of all positions, that’s important as we evaluate those intangibles."
4. The Bills Have Done Something They Haven't In More Than 20 Years.........
That would be draft quarterbacks in back-to-back years. Buffalo took Cardale Jones in 2016, followed by Peterman this year............For fans who have lamented the amount of quarterbacks the Bills have taken in recent years, the selection of Peterman can be viewed as a step in the right direction.
5. He Has A Huge Fan In Jon Gruden........
Gruden gushed about Peterman, saying "I think he’s going to be a real good pro quarterback. I just have a real confidence in that. He can memorize, he can execute any play you dream up, and he loves it. I’m smitten with him a little bit as a player."........Gruden's not the only one, too. Buffalo native Greg Gabriel, the former college scouting director of the Bears, said on Twitter "Nate Peterman will become a starting QB in Buffalo. He's this year's Kirk Cousins."
