Happy Days Lois & Clark Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/...yers/47584.html J.P. LOSMAN Position: QB Class: Sr School: Tulane Conference: C-USA Ht., Wt.: 6'2½, 224 40 Time: 4.71 Grade: 4.03 Selected by Buffalo Bills Round 1, pick 22 (22 overall) BIO: Second-team all-conference selection in '03 after completing 59.5 percent/3,077/33/14. Replaced Patrick Ramsey the prior season and passed for 57.4 percent/2,468/19/10. Had a solid Combine and displayed some of the best long-passing skills. POSITIVES: Nice-sized athletic passer with an NFL arm. Quickly sets up in the pocket, has a short, quick delivery and the pass explodes from his hand. Patient, buys time in the pocket and a tough passer that takes a hit in order to get the throw off. Senses pressure, gets outside tackle and easily eludes the rush, making the throw on the move. Looks off the safety and goes to secondary targets, not forcing the issue or making bad choices. Challenges the vertical game and at the same time makes all the throws. Zips the outs into tight coverage, drives the ball downfield, yet also puts touch on passes when required. Makes plays with his legs and has an aggressive running style when he takes off from the pocket. NEGATIVES: Throws flat footed at times and as a result will be high of a target. Too often relies on his strong arm to make the play. Holds the ball too long in the pocket and takes unnecessary sacks. ANALYSIS: A confident quarterback with the tools to back it up, Losman is a physically gifted passer with the ability to play in multiple offensive schemes. Offering a good upside for the next level, he will eventually be a solid productive quarterback in the NFL.

Losman collected a host of awards following his senior season with the Green Wave. The California native earned Second Team All-Conference USA honors as well as Honorable Mention All-Louisiana recognition. In addition, Losman was one of seven finalists for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award given to the top senior quarterback. The Record Book Losman set the Tulane career record for lowest interception percentage (INTs per attempt) with a mark of 2.73 (27 INTs in 987 attempts). He finished his career ranked in the Top 10 in 18 categories, including third in TD passes (60), completions (570) and passing efficiency (129.81). In addition, he ranks in the top four on 13 different lists after just two seasons as a full-time starter. He also ranks in the Top 10 all-time in Conference USA in 10 different passing and total offense categories. The Stats Losman completed 251-of-422 passes for 3,077 yards and 33 touchdowns as a senior. He led Conference USA in passing and touchdown passes and his 33 touchdown strikes are the second-highest total in Tulane history. It was just the third 3,000-yard passing season in Green Wave history. In each of the Wave's 12 games, he threw at least one TD pass. Seven on 7: Seven Quick Notes on #7 1) Rated as one of top quarterbacks for the 2004 NFL Draft. 2) Finished his career ranked in the Top 10 at Tulane in 18 categories. 3) Set the Tulane record for lowest interception percentage. 4) One of the nation's top senior quarterbacks who has been named one of seven finalists the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award. 5) Among the top 10 in the nation with 33 touchdown passes. 6) Completed 59.5 percent of his throws (251-of-422). 7) Put on a fourth-quarter clinic vs. Mississippi State to bring Tulane back from a 28-14 deficit. Completed 13-of-17 passes for 146 yards with two TD passes in the last 8:22 of the game and finished the game hitting 29-of-47 passes for 349 yards, four TDs and no INTs. Going Deep J.P. Losman was successful with the long ball in 2003, completing passes of 50 yards or more in five different games. In the season finale against East Carolina, he hit Chris Bush in stride for a career-long 87-yard touchdown pass, the second-longest completion in Tulane history and the fourth-longest in Conference USA history. J.P. in Draft Ratings Losman has garnered plenty of preseason attention of his own as he has been rated at the top of the NFL's scouting service rankings for senior players. Losman and Ole Miss quarterback Eli Manning are projected as the top two senior quarterbacks in the nation. Last summer, Losman was featured in an article in ESPN The Magazine. 7-11 While Mewelde Moore and Roydell Williams join Losman as the "stars" in the Tulane lineup, Losman had no qualms delivering passes to other players. In 2003, #7 has completed passes to 14 different players. Williams led the way with 66 receptions while Moore came out of the backfield for 39 catches. In addition, Losman found nine different players for touchdowns. Williams registered a team-best nine, followed by Chris Bush with eight and Tristan Smith with five. Moore caught four TDs while Bubba Terranova collected three. Nick Narcisse had a pair of TD receptions, while Carl Davis, Jerome Landry and Fred Smith have caught one. Back-to-Back-to-Back-to-Back Quarterback J.P. Losman joined his predecessors, Patrick Ramsey and Shaun King, as the only TU players to record back-to-back 300-yard passing days in the first two games of the season and then added to the streak with 300 yards in each of the next two games. Losman is the first player to accomplish the feat in the first four games of a season. The record for consecutive 300-yard games is five by Ramsey between Sept. 11 and Oct. 16, 1999. Practically New An impressive aspect of Losman's impressive statistics in 2003 was the fact that he did it with a very young offensive line. For most of the season, Tulane has started an O-line composed of four sophomores and a redshirt freshman in Derek Rogers at right tackle. All told, the five had just 26 starts between them entering the season. Rogers, center Joe Traina and guard Donald Madlock had not started games prior to 2003. Guard Matt Traina (twin of Joe) and tackle Chris McGee both have started 25 consecutive games dating back to the first game of last year.
ajzepp Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 If I were a betting man, I'd put my money on JP being a stud in the NFL. I don't see him being mediocre.....he'll either suck, or he'll be stellar. I bet ya it'll be the latter.
