Broncos To Work Out QB Nathan Peterman

The Broncos are planning to workout former Bills quarterback Nathan Peterman early next week, according to Ryan Talbot of New York Upstate (Twitter link).

Denver currently has only two quarterbacks on its roster: starter Case Keenum and backup Kevin Hogan. The Broncos also have another signal-caller — former Saint Garrett Grayson — on their practice squad. None of those passers are necessarily in danger of losing their job, as Peterman is simply part of a large group of free agents Denver will look at in advance of signing players to offseason futures contracts, tweets Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic.

Peterman, 24, was released by the Bills earlier this year after posting arguably the worst results of any quarterback in NFL history. Pro Football Reference produces “indexed” statistics which adjust for era, therefore allowing for comparison between players in today’s pass-happy league and –for example — those who starred in 1980s run-based offenses. By those indexed metrics, Peterman is dead last among all quarterbacks since 1970 in passer rating, yards per attempt, interception percentage, and numerous other passing statistics.
