NFL Draft Buzz: “The 2024 season at Indiana has forced scouts to reevaluate their initial assessments, as Rourke’s precise ball placement and command of the offense have translated seamlessly to Power Five competition.”

Bleacher Report: “Kurtis Rourke is a pure pocket passer who thrives on timing and accuracy inside clean pockets. He offers a solid floor as a player. As an older prospect, he does not have much developmental upside to bank on. He projects as a high-quality backup QB with starter upside in the right situation.”

33rd Team: “Rourke’s arm strength doesn’t look laboring. His size and clean throwing mechanics allow him to deliver a ball with zip effortlessly, whereas other prospects may need to step into throws and force the velocity into them.”
