The guy also tried out as a WR for the Giants.

It is his little brother Kurtis who was the MAC player of the Year at Ohio last season.  I can see how one could look up a rookie named Rourke from Ohio and assume the Rourke stats from 2022 belong to Nathan.  Kurtus has got this year and next worth of eligibility left, which, due to COVID rules and a redshirt in 2019, would make six years so he might opt for the CFL or a high major program's NIL money if he isn't considered an the NFL draft prospect in 2024. 

Nathan won three straight bowl games for Ohio in 2017, 2018, and 2019 but never won MAC player of the year.  He was given a chance at WR, where he had never played, for the Giants in 2020 when the CFL shutdown.  He would probably really need to be either bigger or faster to make that work.  He split time at QB as a rookie for the BC Lions in 2021.  If you want to see Nathan's stats from last year look up BC.  He was on track to break a ton of CFL records and it is a virtual certainty that he would have been CFL MVP in 2022 had he not missed the second half of the regular season with the Lisfranc sprain.

On behalf of copycat, I'll just say you shut your whore mouth right now.

He's ours, he's staying, and we're gonna get some more bowl wins, dangit

who's giving us a fifth, and for what WR?

Rourke isn't on the table, imo. I still think the long term plan is for CJB to groom him into the backup role and let him take over next season as QB2.
