“When he was drafted, I was so excited. I texted him just to tell him that I couldn’t wait to start working with him,” he said. “He has a high football IQ. Great guy, strong leader, so I’m excited just to learn from him and develop with him.”

So what should the expectations be for Peterman? Earning a spot on the 53-man roster should be the starting point.

“Obviously, Tyrod (Taylor) is going to be the starter,” General Manager Brandon Beane said Friday. “There’s some other guys on the roster. I’ve only watched Tyrod from afar. We had a quarterback in Carolina, so we weren’t in the market a lot to be overly researching these guys. I actually got to meet Tyrod on my tour. Great young man.

“He’s done a lot of good things on tape and look forward to getting to know him and see how he leads this team and it’s just going to be an open competition at every position – not just quarterback.”

The last part of that quote echoes what coach Sean McDermott said after the draft – that every job on the team was up for grabs.
