Sam Hartman Compared to Actor Brad Pitt by NFL Draft Evaluator Before 2024 NFL Draft

Any team looking for someone with leading-actor looks at the quarterback position now knows where to turn during the 2024 NFL draft.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler noted Tuesday that an NFL talent evaluator said "Brad Pitt" when asked for a comparison for Notre Dame quarterback Sam Hartman.

While that was a humorous moment, an AFC executive suggested Hartman will have some limitations on the field and said he "doesn't have the ability to be an NFL starter. More of a quality backup. Really like him as a guy and a player, but he doesn't have the arm strength and athleticism that you need in my opinion."

Hartman started his collegiate career at Wake Forest and transferred to Notre Dame for the 2023 campaign. He ended up completing 63.5 percent of his passes for 2,689 yards, 24 touchdowns and eight interceptions during that one season with the Fighting Irish and helped lead them to a Sun Bowl appearance.

B/R's NFL Scouting Department did not project any teams taking him in the first three rounds in its latest mock draft. It also didn't rank among him the top 250 overall players or top nine quarterbacks in its latest big board of prospects.

It is fair to be concerned with Hartman's upside, especially as a prospect who will turn 25 years old before the 2024 NFL season. That is older than some current starting quarterbacks who have been in the league for multiple years.

Hartman might not become an NFL star during his football career, but perhaps he could turn to acting if things don't work out.

After all, he's already landed quite the comparison when it comes to Hollywood.
