Summer is here, and it is everyone’s favorite time of the year, scouting time. Every year, we do Summer Scouting to preview college football for Bucs fans, but also give them an idea of names to follow and watch in the fall as needs pop up for Tampa Bay.Are we going to write about quarterbacks? Offensive tackles? Edge rushers? You know it, but why? Because other NFL teams will draft them, just as they will draft every other position. It all matters whether these players end up on the Bucs, the Bears, or the Steelers. We write these so Bucs fans can be the most informed fans.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementSo if you are still with us, enjoy our latest Summer Scouting report as we prepare you for the Fall.Penn StateListed at 6-6/215 lbs.5-Star prospect according to 247 SportsPolynesian High School Football Player of the Year25 Starts702 Pass attempts4,858 Passing yards6.9 Yards per attempt28 Big-time throws2.3 Turnover worthy play rateAverage depth of target is 9.4 yards73% Adjusted completion percentageArm strength among the best in the classMakes tight window throwsGood pocket presence and awarenessCan extend plays with his legsGreat mechanicsIamaleava is a tough eval because, physically and arm talent-wise, he has all the pieces you want. He could easily be someone that I am lower on than the consensus, but I just don’t see an explosive nature in his game consistently enough. The zip, arm strength, and playmaking is something he flashes. His arm talent alone is an insane base for someone to work with in the NFL and perhaps bring him out of his shell.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThis article originally appeared on Bucs Wire: 2027 NFL Draft Summer Scouting Report: Nico Iamaleava, QB, UCLA
