Player Background:
Max Brosmer came out of Centennial High School in Georgia as an unranked recruit in the 2019 class. He started ten games in his freshman year with New Hampshire, connecting on 183 of 311 passes for 1,967 yards, 12 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. Injuries limited both his 2020 and 2021 seasons, recording just 128 yards and two touchdowns on 20 of 35 passing in a single game against Albany.
He came back for the 2022 season and started every game, finishing Top-10 in the nation in multiple categories. Brosmer eclipsed 3,000 yards with 27 passing TDs to just eight interceptions. 2023 continued to trend in the right direction for him, barely missing throwing for 3,500 yards to go with 29 TDs and six INTs. He transferred to Minnesota after the season as a four-star recruit, passing for 2,828 yards and 18 TDs to six picks.

Strengths/Pros:
Brosmer immediately impressed with his adjustments to the ball after receiving the snap, and he looks comfortable through early transitions. He scans through multiple close reds quickly and can pick apart zones with offensive number advantages. His identification of the safety valve is a great pro-ready trait that he possesses, allowing him to salvage some broken plays. He leads quick-hitter backfield throws well, too. He’s an accurate and powerful short thrower on the run to his strong side.
His throwing mechanics are smooth and fast, releasing the ball quickly and working fast. Brosmer is a smart thrower into traffic, knowing where to place the ball for the least chance of easy breakups. He can make some really good throws into tight windows when he gives himself the chance to, and he flashes some good timing throws outside the numbers. He’s incredibly smooth through play-action schemes, and he trusts his wideouts on some anticipation throws, giving them balls only they can get to.
Weaknesses/Cons:
Brosmer is already 24 years old, and he has some previous injury history in his lower half, presenting two immediate concerns. He’s historically not a great deep ball passer, and struggles to find a balance between touch and driven passes. He doesn’t have the arm strength to consistently layer throws and drive the ball to the intermediate and deep areas of the field. He needs to pull the trigger much quicker and more often with shorter routes available, seemingly not trusting himself enough when wideouts work open.
His feet get jittery when the pocket starts to close, and he targets leaking backs or short routes, losing accuracy and power. Brosmer tries to speed up plays on some quicker outside routes, overthrowing at times and dragging throws because of upper-half over-rotation. He needs to keep scanning the field under duress, looking down or into space too much, instead of keeping his options open. He’s not very mobile, and he drifts into his heels too frequently, getting caught between lobs and rifles.
Potential Team Fits:
NFL Projection:
Brosmer isn’t the most interesting late-round quarterback option, but there are some intriguing parts to his game. He’s accurate in the short and intermediate game with decent enough arm talent to work his way onto an NFL roster. Trusting himself and his abilities will likely be one of the deciding factors in how his career trajectory plays out. If he can refine his processing and continue to develop his current traits, he could become a nice QB2 or QB3. If he doesn’t show quick reliability, however, he could easily become a perennial practice squad body.
