NFL Draft Analyst Evaluates Garrett Nussmeier's Stock Ahead Of The Combine

LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier enters a pivotal stretch of the pre-draft process with the NFL Scouting Combine beginning this week, an event Nussmeier will attend as evaluators continue to sort out his draft range.

After a down season hampered by injuries, Nussmeier's postseason performance at the Senior Bowl helped steady his NFL Draft stock and set the stage for a critical opportunity to impress decision-makers through interviews, on-field workouts, and meetings with teams.

NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah believes Nussmeier helped himself with a strong showing late in the process and projects him as a 3rd pick of a late 2nd-rounder. Per 247Sports:

"He had a really good game and a solid week down there. Definitely helped himself. With the son of a coach, he's going to do great through the interview process and from, really, the end of the season forward. It was a nice, nice rebound for him," Jeremiah said. "I think, to me, I like him as a third-round pick. I feel like that's a sweet spot for him. But we've seen in years past that guys can get elevated. Maybe there's a chance he goes in the second round."

"To me, I liked him more as a third-round player who's got a real interesting skillset in terms of the compact delivery. He can climb up in the pocket. He's real comfortable with no foot space. For a guy who's not big, who's just 6-1, sometimes those guys play small in crowds. But he's very comfortable in there. He doesn't need a lot of foot space to operate. He's really, really tough, and he's got plenty of arm."
