VIDEO: Nathan Peterman Throws Perfect Pass to De'Mornay Pierson-El for 2nd Touchdown vs Packers
By Karl Rasmussen
Remember when we all scorned Jon Gruden for clamoring over Nathan Peterman? Well, we may have just seen a glimpse of why the Raiders' head coach was so high on the former Buffalo Bill. Peterman was featured under center in the preseason game against the Packers, and he looked sharp. He found De'Mornay Pierson-El for a perfectly placed 17-yard touchdown pass to bring Oakland within two points in the fourth quarter.

Peterman had himself a night, going 19-for-32 with 172 yards and two touchdown passes.
He's looking to fight for backup duties and if he can continue to impress in preseason he might just win the job, as well as shake off the title of arguably the worst quarterback of all time.
