2026 Projections
Signed a contract with the Lions in May of 2026.
Headed to Detroit
Altmyer is slated to sign with the Lions as an undrafted free agent, Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Altmyer's best football trait is his brain. The fifth-year senior out of Illinois is a clutch passer, leading seven game-winning drives in the final minute or overtime in his career. The quarterback consistently finds clear sight lines and can deliver accurate balls with nice touch and rhythm. Despite not being wildly athletic, he is adept at finding an escape route when the pocket collapses. The root of all Altmyer's weaknesses is his lack of transcendent athleticism. He doesn't throw with power, is undersized, doesn't have exceptional ball security and has a lack of poise in the pocket. The positive news about a potential signing with the Lions is that Jared Goff isn't an exceptional athlete either by NFL standards, and the ability to learn from the pocket passer in an effort to fix some of these weaknesses could lead to future opportunities in the NFL for the 23-year-old.

Shines during Senior Bowl practice
Altmyer demonstrated his poise and accuracy during Thursday's Senior Bowl practice and was Jordan Reid of ESPN's best quarterback of the day.
ANALYSIS
Altymer saved his best Senior Bowl practice for Thursday, showing his touch on deep passes while dominating the red zone 11-on-11 period, highlighted by a pinpoint throw to the back of the end zone to Syracuse tight end Dan Villari. Altymer spent his last three collegiate seasons at Illinois, and in 2025 he completed 67.4 percent of his passes for 3,007 yards, 22 touchdowns and five interceptions while turning 100 carries into 242 yards and five scores across 13 games. Reid tabs Altymer as a Day 3 pick that could rise up to the fourth round with a robust pre-draft process.
