After a tough defeat against the Buffalo Bills and a concussion injury to quarterback Tua Tagovailoa during the Thursday Night Football game on September 12, the Miami Dolphins are looking for the next best option to lead the team to victory. Currently, the team has Skylar Thompson as the backup quarterback, and he is planned to start in the next game against the Seattle Seahawks in the third week, but Miami needed a second backup quarterback to replace him if the 27-year-old also gets injured.
In response to this, the Dolphins, a team that won Super Bowls in 1973 and 1974, signed Tyler Huntley, a veteran from the practice squad of the Baltimore Ravens, to join them in Miami. HollywoodLife has gathered five key facts about the 26-year-old athlete, and you can learn more about the new backup quarterback for the Miami Dolphins below.
Tyler Huntley was born on February 3, 1998.
In an ironic twist of fate, Tyler Huntley is returning to his home state of Florida. The athlete was born in Dania Beach, Florida, and will now be playing professionally in the same state where his football journey began.
Tyler started his NFL career in 2020 when he was signed by the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent. Initially on the practice squad, he served as a backup quarterback for star quarterback Lamar Jackson for the past four years. His opportunity to showcase himself came in the 2022 NFL season when Jackson got injured, allowing Tyler to take the field and demonstrate his abilities. He also played a few games with the Cleveland Browns.
The official announcement of Huntley joining the Dolphins became known on Monday, September 16, when Miami head coach Mike McDaniel confirmed the signing at a press conference. «From the outside looking in… he was replacing the league MVP, and from a distance, you could see that he was someone the team absolutely believed in to lead them to victory», - McDaniel said.
It is expected that Huntley will make his debut for the Miami Dolphins in the next game against the Seahawks on Sunday, September 22.
During his time with the Ravens, Huntley accumulated a total of 1957 passing yards and scored eight touchdowns
