NFL Note - Oakland Raiders Peterman, Nathan

QB Nathan Peterman has signed with the Oakland Raiders practice squad, according to multiple media reports.

Raiders head coach Jon Gruden, who was an ESPN analyst at the time, was very high on Peterman, who was cut by the Buffalo Bills more than a month ago, when he came out of Pitt two years ago. "Peterman is ready to walk in and be a contributor from day one," Gruden wrote at the time. "He just looks like a pro quarterback -- coming out of the huddle, running an offense with different formations, shifting, motioning, different patterns that other colleges don't run. Peterman will recognize route combinations and associate formations. Peterman is ready to walk in and be a contributor from day one." Gruden declared that Peterman was "the draft's most pro-ready guy." That draft included Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs, Deshaun Watson of the Dallas Texans, and Mitchell Trubisky of the Chicago Bears. Peterman struggled the Bills, ranking last in QB rating (30.7) among NFL quarterbacks this season with a minimum of 50 passing attempts before the Bills released him. In four appearances in Buffalo this season, including two starts, Peterman completed 44 of 81 passes for one touchdown with seven interceptions. In his career, Peterman has thrown 12 interceptions on 130 passing attempts.
