I assumed the Stamps would be treating Maier as a project as he's probably still learning the Canadian game but he's obviously shown more in practice than O'Connor. He's a bit undersized (for the NFL especially) but was considered by some to have NFL backup capabilities before the 2020 draft.

19. Jake Maier, UC Davis (Seventh Round)
It isn’t often a small school like UC Davis makes its way into many rankings, but with Keelan Doss and Jake Maier approaching in back-to-back seasons, it’s an exciting time for the Aggies. Maier is an efficient play-maker who gets the ball out on time and on target. He’s at his best when he gets into a rhythm. His tape against North Dakota State really stood out to me as an FCS prospect, as he demonstrated these abilities to full-function, despite getting hammered by the North Dakota State defense all game long. He doesn’t boast any elite physical traits as a passer or athlete, but Maier can be a solid backup option in the league over time.
