NFL comparables — first 1 career game

N = 1 game1 game is a very small sample. This shows how these players began, not how they will finish. It is a comparison, not a projection, and it should not be read as a settled view of anyone’s career. Drawn from 340 historical QBs who played at least 1 career game. A “game” is one in which the player recorded a stat line. Inactive weeks do not count, and the same rule is applied to the rookie and to every historical player he is compared against.

Athan Kaliakmanis’s actual 2026 NFL production, and the historical NFL players whose own first 1 career game looked most like it — same position, same number of games. His line is the highlighted row, so each comp can be read directly against it. Career outcome and career fp say what became of that player.

Pre-season college projection and college comps secondary
Superseded by the NFL comparison above. This is the pre-season estimate, built before Athan Kaliakmanis played a down: his college production comped against historical college players, anchored on draft capital. It is a weaker estimator (prospect back-test ρ 0.27 ex-TE) and it knows nothing about what he has actually done in the NFL. Kept for reference only.
