Breaking news! Miami Dolphins were working on their contingency plan after Tua Tagovailoa was put under concussion protocol. And their search has ended. Phins have signed Tyler ‘Snoop’ Huntley as the backup. The 2022 Pro Bowler is a ray of hope for the locker room. The NFL journey of a 6′ 1″, 205-pound athlete has also been full of ups and downs.
Huntley entered the league in 2020 as a free agent for the Baltimore Ravens. That surprised many, considering he had impeccable stats during the personal pro day with the NFL officials.

In 2020, the former Utah quarterback was not invited to the NFL Scouting Combine. When Utah’s pro day also got canceled because of COVID-19, he didn’t lose hope and organized it on his level. He excelled in every activity, outclassing everyone.
Cole McDonald, the best QB at the NFL Combine, ran the 40-yard dash in 4.58 seconds, but Huntley completed it in 4.56 seconds. He was the best in the 20-yard shuttle as well, with 4.31 seconds. The same happened in the 3-cone drill, which he completed in 6.84 seconds. The 2nd best time was 7.06 seconds by Justin Herbert.
His aerial prowess was also on display during the pro day. Tyler ‘Snoop’ Huntley’s broad jump measured 128.5 inches, 3.5 inches more than Kelly Bryant, the best QB at the combine. His dominance in the vertical jump was exemplary. McDonald had the best jump among QBs with 36 inches, and the best jumps were tied at 38 inches; however, he was way ahead of them with a 43.5-inch jump.
We can say that he was a physical specimen, but his success in the league has been very limited. Let’s explore his previous contracts and NFL stats.
