Ahead of the 2026 NFL draft, the team is traveling to meet him in person, which stands out since they pick 13th and 61st overall.

Draft experts rank him highly, sometimes as high as second overall among quarterbacks.

But an abdominal injury this season dropped his output to 1,927 yards, 12 scores, and 5 picks over 9 games. At 6 foot 2, Newsmeyer has a powerful arm and enough mobility to step up in the pocket
