Peter Bourque's combination of size, arm talent, and functional movement skills reminds us of Tyler Shough at the same stage. Both were coordinated, refined passers with underrated athleticism. Bourque is older and bigger at the same stage, while Shough was more productive as a passer.

Big, strong-armed passer with a high level of polish and quality athleticism. Has prototypical size, measuring north of 6-foot-4, 220 pounds with a 10-inch hand. Touts a live arm that is capable of accessing all areas of the field. Makes tough small window throws from the pocket on film. Can layer and locate the football over second level defenders. Shows signs of good pocket presence. Has refined footwork. Coordinated and in rhythm. Good athlete at his size. Has a loose, flexible lower body which aids in change of direction. Showed increased rushing ability as a junior, picking up yards on designed runs and scrambles. Completed 63.3% of passes for 2,241 yards and 18 touchdowns against 7 interceptions as a junior, also rushing for 688 yards and 15 touchdowns.  
The oldest quarterback in the 2027 cycle, and will be 20 years old before the first game of his college career. Drops the ball within his backstroke that can elongate his throwing motion. Plays a truncated schedule in the Northeast and will enter college with fewer passing reps than some peers. Enters college as a developed, polished quarterback, with ultimate upside being a question due to age. If he is able to keep improving has the ability to develop into a NFL Draft pick.
