NFL Draft Profile: Spencer Petras, Quarterback, Iowa Hawkeyes NFL Draft profile scouting report for Iowa QB Spencer Petras

OCTOBER 2, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Puts up solid stats in loss Petras completed 21 of his 31 passes for 246 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 27-14 loss to Michigan. He also lost 31 yards on four carries.

Impact Petras finished with the most productive performance of his subpar 2022 campaign, eclipsing 200 passing yards for the first time this season. The senior also tallied his second passing touchdown of the year on a 5-yard completion to tight end Luke Lachey in the waning seconds of Saturday's loss. However, while the quarterback did notch an efficient 67.7 completion percentage, nearly two-thirds of Petras' production came after the Hawkeyes fell down 20-0 early in the second half. The pocket passer will have a tough time reproducing these numbers in more competitive games moving forward.

Efficient in conference opener Petras completed 11 of his 17 passes for 148 yards during Saturday's 27-10 win over Rutgers.

Impact Petras notched season-highs in completion percentage (64.7) and yards per attempt (8.7) against the Scarlet Knights defense. The senior passer also relied heavily on his top two tight ends, spreading just over half of his passing attempts to Sam LaPorta (four receptions, seven targets, 77 yards) and Luke Lachey (two receptions, two targets, 37 yards). Petras will need to find a more balanced passing distribution in order to find similar success against Michigan's stout defense next week.

Bounces back against Nevada Petras went 14-of-26 passing for 175 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 27-0 win over Nevada. He also lost a total of one yard over five rushes.

Impact Petras's 21-yard passing touchdown to wide receiver Arland Bruce (three receptions, four targets, 50 yards) marked his first score of the 2022 campaign and just his second passing touchdown over his past eight starts dating back to last season. The senior also completed over half of his passes as he operated with his full complement of wide receivers for the first time this season, as pass catchers Keagan Johnson (two receptions, four targets, 11 yards) and Nico Ragaini (two receptions, 56 yards, four target) returned to the field Saturday. Petras will still need to greatly improve his overall passing in order to maintain his starting job throughout Big Ten play, which will begin this coming Saturday with a road matchup against Rutgers.
