Prior to the 2025 college football season, Garrett Nussmeier<\/a> was considered a potential top NFL Draft<\/a> prospect. But injuries hampered his production during an up-and-down year at LSU<\/a>, which impacted his stock.<\/p>\n

However, Nussmeier put together a strong performance at the Senior Bowl last month and will now get ready for the NFL Scouting Combine. As the pre-draft process continues, NFL Network\u2019s Daniel Jeremiah said the former LSU quarterback has third-round potential as of now.<\/p>\n

Nussmeier\u2019s performance in Mobile at the Senior Bowl was important as he hopes to hear his name called in April\u2019s draft. As the son of a coach, he\u2019s likely to find success during the interview portion of the pre-draft process, and Jeremiah said he currently grades as a potential third-round pick.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had a really good game and a solid week down there,\u201d Jeremiah said Thursday on a conference call with reporters. \u201cDefinitely helped himself. With the son of a coach, he\u2019s 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. \u2026 I think, to me, I like him as a third-round pick. I feel like that\u2019s a sweet spot for him. But we\u2019ve seen in years past that guys can get elevated. Maybe there\u2019s a chance he goes in the second round.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo me, I liked him more as a third-round player who\u2019s got a real interesting skillset in terms of the compact delivery. He can climb up in the pocket. He\u2019s real comfortable with no foot space. For a guy who\u2019s not big, who\u2019s just 6-1, sometimes those guys play small in crowds. But he\u2019s very comfortable in there. He doesn\u2019t need a lot of foot space to operate. He\u2019s really, really tough, and he\u2019s got plenty of arm.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daniel Jeremiah\u2019s comparison for Garrett Nussmeier<\/p>\n

During his injury-impacted 2025 season, Garrett Nussmeier threw for 1,927 yards and 12 touchdowns, to five interceptions. That marked his final year at LSU after he chose to return following a breakout 2024 season when he threw for 4,052 yards and 29 touchdowns, to 12 picks, as a redshirt junior.<\/p>\n

Nussmeier also proved to be tough during his career in Baton Rouge, and Daniel Jeremiah said that remained on display at the Senior Bowl. It was cold in Mobile during the week of practice and the game, and Nussmeier handled it well.<\/p>\n

As for a comparison, Jeremiah drew parallels between Nussmeier and Andy Dalton<\/a>. It\u2019s worth noting Dalton was a second-round pick before embarking on a 15-year career in the NFL, and Jeremiah reiterated it\u2019s possible Nussmeier jumps into the early part of Day 2.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was butt cold at the Senior Bowl, man,\u201d Jeremiah said. \u201cIt was windy and it was cold, and it didn\u2019t seem to have much of an effect on him, which is a great sign for him going forward. So I like him as a third-round type player. <\/p>\n

\u201cBut again, somebody does that in the second round, I kind of compared him earlier to Andy Dalton. And that\u2019s where he came off the board.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prior to the 2025 college football season, Garrett Nussmeier was considered a potential top NFL Draft prospect.
