Each row compares Garrett Nussmeier to other 2026 prospects in that signal — except Class × Draft Slot, which shows the editorial multiplier applied to Garrett Nussmeier's 2026-class + draft-slot combo (baseline 1.00× = neutral).
Computed from 3 of 6 signals
Class rank: 22nd percentile
All positive signal to date is preseason-only (two exhibition appearances); he has zero regular-season pass attempts, so his value remains entirely projection-based.
A spinal cyst pressing on a nerve caused oblique/abdominal pain that limited him to nine college games in his final LSU season; he has been reported asymptomatic since before the Senior Bowl and through two full preseason games.
Nussmeier drew praise from Andy Reid for moving the offense in relief work and was named the preseason finale starter, exceeding expectations for a seventh-round pick behind a backup-heavy line.
Strong summer showings give him a chance to eventually leapfrog Justin Fields for the true QB2 role, which would raise his profile as the direct injury-replacement option for Mahomes.
Being developed inside Andy Reid's system behind Mahomes gives Nussmeier a uniquely stable, high-caliber offensive environment to grow into if a long-term succession or trade opportunity ever emerges.
