[h1]COSELL: PITTSBURGH QUARTERBACK PETERMAN FITS 49ERS' SCHEME[/h1]
The best fit for Shanahan's offense after the projected first wave of quarterbacks is Pittsburgh's Nathan Peterman, according to one draft expert. The 49ers have kept their interest in Peterman lowkey. The club conducted a formal interview with Peterman at the NFL scouting combine, a source told NBC Sports Bay Area.
"He can run play-action. He's played under center. He looks like an NFL quarterback," NFL analyst and senior producer of NFL Films Greg Cosell said of Peterman. "Some people are going to say that his arm is not strong enough, and that's valid. It may not be. That's a decision everybody will make on their own. Some guys might say it's strong enough. Others might say it's below the level at which you can be a quality starter. That'll be in the eye of the beholder."
Peterman (6 foot 2 ½, 226 pounds) started his final two seasons at Pittsburgh after transferring from Tennessee. During his final two college seasons while running a pro-style offense, Peterman completed 378 of 619 pass attempts (61.1 percent) for 5,142 yards with 47 touchdowns and 15 interceptions.
Cosell compared Peterman to Hoyer, whom he noted, "doesn't have a gun" for a throwing arm. Hoyer is expected to be the 49ers' starting quarterback in 2017. Hoyer and Matt Barkley are the only quarterbacks on the 49ers' roster.
"Kyle's offense starts with the quarterback under center and it's very detailed and precise and there are very few guys in college football who come from those kinds of offenses," Cosell said.
