He spent most of 2020 on the Bucs’ follow squad earlier than the 49ers signed him as a backup, although he by no means appeared in a sport. He spent final season with the Falcons, the place he threw 11 passes in rubbish time throughout 4 video games.
And now he’s basically the fifth quarterback in Cleveland.
