Tyler Huntley

QB

Huntley's career encapsulates the rarest QB archetype: UDFA who earned a Pro Bowl nod, returned to the same franchise twice, and carved out a 6-year career on rushing ability alone.

UDFA out of Utah. Pro Bowl in 2022. 29 regular-season games across BAL and MIA in six seasons. The unlikeliest career.

Why it matters. Huntley's career encapsulates the rarest QB archetype: UDFA who earned a Pro Bowl nod, returned to the same franchise twice, and carved out a 6-year career on rushing ability alone.

2022 Pro Bowl as an injury replacement — making him one of a tiny handful of UDFA QBs to ever earn the honor.

Why it matters. The Pro Bowl selection, however it came, is a permanent credential — it validates Huntley's 2021 stretch as genuinely impressive enough to warrant All-Star recognition.

BAL 2020-23 (Lamar's backup) -> MIA 2024 (Tua injury starter) -> back to BAL 2025. The boomerang — one UDFA, two teams, six years.

Why it matters. The boomerang arc — same franchise twice, only 2 organizations in 6 years — makes Huntley unusual among backup QBs, most of whom cycle through 4-5 teams. BAL clearly values what he gives Lamar.

His running matters more than his throwing. 795 career regular-season rush yards — including a 294-yard 2021 (42 ypg in 7 games).

Why it matters. The rushing dimension is what separates Huntley from every other journeyman QB — his 2021 pace of 42 rush ypg in 7 games is what earned BAL's long-term loyalty.

His MIA 2024 stint: 5 G, 829 pass yards, 3 TDs as Tua's injury replacement — a meaningful audition that didn't earn a 2025 deal.

Why it matters. The MIA audition and its aftermath reveal Huntley's ceiling: he's good enough to hold a team together, but not good enough to dislodge an incumbent when healthy.

4 INTs across 188 attempts in 2021 (2.1% rate) — and ZERO INTs in his 5-game 2025 BAL return (67 att, 0.0%).

Why it matters. Huntley's 2025 0.0% INT rate in a full 5-game stretch is the stat that keeps him employed — he protects the ball well enough for BAL to trust him as Lamar's emergency back.
