Bills draft pick Nathan Peterman has been called a lot of things after being selected in the 5th round of the NFL Draft: Most NFL ready prospect and "the next Tom Brady" are the two most common phrases mentioned in the same sentence as the rookie quarterback.

And, in true Tom Brady fashion, the QB was soaking up the sun in LA...during a photo shoot for his first rookie trading card with Panini and the NFL Players Association.

Peterman was one of 40 rookies making the rounds at LA Memorial Coliseum, wearing his Bills gear the first time. He said it's a dream come true to have his first trading card, but so would earning a starting job in the NFL.

After a stellar college career, he's confident he'll be able to make an impact at the next level.

"First of all, you know I think I'm a great leader," Peterman said.  "I hope that they see that. I want to do everything I can to win. I'm a competitor, I'm a tough guy and I'm just trying to go out there and win as much as I can."

The former Pitt quarterback even showed off his arm, tossing a football through a tire that was 20 yards away.
