2027 NFL Draft summer scouting report: Conner Weigman, QB, Houston
Recruiting rank: Five-star recruit, no. 3 QB nationally in 2022
Hometown: Cypress, Texas
Games watched: Oregon State, Oklahoma State, Arizona State, West Virginia, LSU (Bowl game)
Snappy release, always seems to be in rhythm despite pressure
Does well hitting the short and intermediate throws
When he's on, he can layer throws with the best of them in the class
Tends to play his best in bigger moments
When it comes to scouting, it is an imperfect science. We have seen zero- and one-star recruits make a major impact, while five-stars struggle to live up to the hype. When it comes to quarterbacks, I still tend to trust the talent, and that is the case for Houston's Conner Weigman.
Weigman showed major upside at Texas A&M, and his move to Houston was for development, which there were glimpses of last season. Let's talk about it.

Needs to find consistency in his game
Needs to be less of an arm thrower (using his legs more to drive the ball)
Won't bring a ton as a playmaker
Can he find trust in his deep ball?
Conner Weigman is no future Hall of Famer, I will say that. However, I still find myself in his camp more than out. The talent is there, and when he is on, his offense hums. Weigman gets a fifth-round grade and could find himself as a quality backup in the NFL, and depending on how this season goes for Houston, he could see his name called earlier on day three than expected.
