Louisville head coach Jeff Brohm is quickly building a reputation as a quarterback guru. His ability to develop signal-callers was on full display last season when he transformed Tyler Shough—a player who had struggled to establish himself as a reliable starter at two previous schools—into a potential second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
This year, Brohm's latest reclamation project is former USC quarterback Miller Moss. Moss started the season strong, throwing for 378 yards in the Trojans’ biggest win of the year against LSU. However, he struggled down the stretch, particularly with turnovers, throwing nine interceptions in just nine games. His difficulty with reading defenses ultimately led to him being benched.

If Brohm can help Moss eliminate these turnover issues, he has the tools to emerge as a potential Day 2 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. One of Moss’s standout traits is his arm strength, which allows him to make any throw in the playbook. This ability also shines when he’s forced to throw off-platform, delivering passes even from less-than-ideal positions.
Another strength is his athleticism. While not an elite runner, he possesses enough agility to maneuver within the pocket and evade defenders. Additionally, when he properly sets his feet, his accuracy stands out as he consistently hits receivers in stride.
Can Miller Moss overcome turnover issues
Despite these strengths, Moss has some key areas to improve. His inconsistent footwork often prevents him from aligning his lower body with his target, leading to errant throws. However, his most concerning flaw is his tendency to force passes, which led to nine interceptions and 12 turnover-worthy plays last season, according to Pro Football Focus. His height—listed at 6-foot-1 at USC—could also be a factor NFL teams scrutinize.
Heading into the season, I have a fourth-round grade on Moss. However, if he can clean up his turnovers and refine his footwork, he has the potential to rise into second-round consideration.
