Jarrett Stidham

Jarrett Stidham has gone from a promising collegiate talent to a professional quarterback for multiple NFL teams, demonstrating persistence through position battles and changes in team dynamics. After leading the Auburn Tigers to an SEC West Division Championship in 2017 with key victories over the Georgia Bulldogs and Alabama Crimson Tide, Jarrett Stidham distinguished himself as a top collegiate quarterback. That pivotal season earned him both SEC Newcomer of the Year and Second-team All-SEC honors. Prior to this, in his senior high school season, Stidham completed 183 of 260 passes for 2,934 yards and 35 touchdowns, adding 969 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns, and was rated a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, ranking as the sixth-best dual-threat quarterback in his class.

His career progressed in 2022 when he was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders, a move that reunited him with former Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. Stidham made his first NFL start for the Raiders in 2022, facing the 49ers, where he threw for 365 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions, showcasing his capability as a starter. In March 2023, he secured a significant move, signing a two-year, $10 million contract with the Denver Broncos. During the 2023 season, he was named the starting quarterback for the final two games, further demonstrating his role and progression within the league.

Looking ahead, in March 2025, Stidham solidified his position with the Denver Broncos by re-signing a two-year, $12 million extension, which included $7 million guaranteed. This latest agreement underscores his established presence and future prospects as a professional quarterback in the NFL.
