Huntley had a great story of making it to the NFL. After a very successful college career, Huntley didn’t get drafted into the NFL and signed with the Ravens as an undrafted free agent. Huntley made the practice squad in 2020 and was activated later in the season when the second and third string QB’s were injured.
He played in two games in 2020, completing three of his five pass attempts for 15 yards, along with 10 carries for 23 yards. With a strong training camp in 2021, Huntley outperformed Trace McSorely and was named the backup in Baltimore behind Lamar Jackson. Huntley has appeared in two games this season, completing 5 of his 11 pass attempts for for 39 yards, as well as three carries for 10 yards.
Utah and UCLA will kickoff at 8 p.m. on Saturday, October 30 on ESPN.
