Film Analysis:
Max Brosmer spent five years at New Hampshire University. He operated their offense with good efficiency as a passer. Brosmer offers an accurate QB with plenty of experience under center. Transferring to Minnesota, he provides their offense with a pure passer who can run their offense at a high level. He epitomizes the phrase resilient after suffering two serious knee injuries, one in high school.
Brosmer throws with a quick, snappy release to maximize timing efficiency. Mechanically, he is very sound and refined. He generates good force with an engaged core and hip rotation. Brosmer keeps his shoulders and back straight, even when passing the ball. His upper and lower bodies are tied together and aligned to his target. Brosmer has clean and fluid throwing mechanics that boost his efficiency and accuracy.
Brosmer has plus-level arm talent with good velocity to rip throws into tight windows. He has the arm to access the middle of the field without much restriction or hesitation. He can push the ball vertically across the middle of the field and outside the numbers. Brosmer has access to the entire field as a passer.
Athletically, he is functional. Brosmer showcases the ability to create with his legs if given an escape route out of the backfield. He was effective on QB zone reads when dialed up. Brosmer comfortably makes throws on the move, like, bootlegs, sprint outs, and launch point movement throws.
Brosmer displays a high football IQ. He reads and identifies pre-snap and post-snap coverages well. He does a nice job reading the safeties pre-snap to determine the coverage outcomes to expect post-snap. He has a good feel for the game and anticipated throws before the receiver finishes their break. Brosmer is a pocket navigator. He is efficient at climbing the pocket vs edge pressure and finding throwing lanes.
Brosmer struggles with pressure in his face. He does not negotiate well consistently—he drifts backward in the pocket and even throws off his back foot sometimes. He has put the ball in harm’s way while trying to throw under pressure/duress. Brosmer has to prove his skill set translates to Power Four football. Spending five years in the FCS leaves questions regarding the level of competition faced to this point. Medicals will be important for Brosmer, he tore his ACL in college and his LCL in high school. That said, remaining healthy for another year will be paramount for his draft stock next year.
Brosmer projects as a highly efficient RPO/West Coast quarterback. His quick release, processing, and accuracy from the pocket make him an ideal fit for those offensive concepts. Brosmer has a chance to move into day two as a prospect with a strong season versus a defensively-loaded Big Ten conference.
