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

Peterman works through his progressions well, as he is not just a one-read quarterback.
From the North practice, Nathan Peterman is the best QB out there. Hands down.

He has good mobility and can extend plays with his legs. Peterman will buy time by rolling out, but always keeps his eyes down the field and is a pass-first quarterback.
