NFL Free Agent HUB Profile: Nick Eilers, Quarterback
NICK EILERS
Elmhurst | QB | #33 | 5103 | 205 | 1000 | 2868 | 7028
Evaluation:
An accurate passer who takes what the defense gives him, Eilers possesses the ability to make all the throws and showcases excellent touch. While the short-to-intermediate part of the passing game is where he thrives, his best attribute may be the deep ball. Eilers can push the ball down field, throws a pretty spiral and knows when to take some mustard off the dog. Inside the pocket, he exudes confidence, owns excellent poise, is calm, cool, collective and very coachable. While his lack of prototypical size ay limit his NFL opportunities, Eilers is a competent passer who could latch on in an alternate league and provide stability.
