Sam Hartman: From Notre Dame to the NFL
A Scout's Perspective
Hartman's College Career
Sam Hartman, born July 29, 1999, left Notre Dame after his final collegiate season with his sights firmly set on the NFL. As a starter, he posted a respectable 36-21 record, though he faced challenges against top-tier opponents, going 5-10 against them.
Physical Abilities and Skillset
Hartman is considered a pocket passer with solid processing ability. His lack of elite athleticism and arm strength, however, limits his ceiling to a degree.
Scouting Report
According to a recent scouting report, Hartman earned a 2317 passer rating in his final season at Notre Dame, the ninth-best mark for a quarterback since 1996. However, his performance in season openers (third-best since 1996) suggests a tendency to thrive in big games.
NFL Prospects
Hartman currently plays for the Washington Commanders of the NFL. Despite his limitations, Hartman's ability to make quick decisions and manage the offense effectively could make him a valuable backup quarterback or, potentially, a starter in the right situation.
