Professional career[]

Baltimore Ravens[]

2020 season[]

Huntley signed with the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent on April 30, 2020.[10] He was waived on September 5, 2020, and signed to the team's practice squad the next day.[11][12] Following injuries/COVID-19 issues from the Ravens' three other quarterbacks, he was elevated to the active roster on December 2, December 19, December 26, and January 2, 2021, for the team's week 12, 15, 16, and 17 games against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Jacksonville Jaguars, New York Giants, and Cincinnati Bengals, and reverted to the practice squad after each game.[13][14][15][16] He made his NFL debut in the fourth quarter against Jacksonville in week 15, when Huntley stepped in for starter Lamar Jackson and went 2 of 4 for seven yards, along with four rushes for 18 rushing yards (which included two kneel downs) as the Ravens won 40–14.[17] Against the Bengals, as the game quickly became a Ravens blowout, he entered the game late in the third quarter. He completed one pass attempt for eight yards while rushing six times for five yards as the Ravens won 38–3.[18] He was elevated again on January 9 and 15 for the team's wild card and divisional playoff games against the Tennessee Titans and Buffalo Bills, and reverted to the practice squad again following each game.[19] Huntley played the entire fourth quarter of the Bills game after Lamar Jackson was knocked out with a concussion, going 6 of 13 with 60 passing yards, along with three rushes for 32 yards, as the Ravens lost 17-3.[20]

2021 season[]

On January 18, 2021, Huntley signed a reserve/futures contract with the Ravens.[21] Huntley had three rushing attempts for ten yards in the Raven's blowout win over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6, and came in to relieve Lamar Jackson during the Raven's blowout loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7, finishing the game with 39 yards passing, going 5 for 11.[22][23] Huntley got his first NFL start on November 21, 2021, when starting quarterback Lamar Jackson was not able to play due to a non-Covid illness against the Chicago Bears. Huntley threw for 219 yards, an interception, rushed for 40 yards, and led the team on a game winning touchdown drive, scoring with just 22 seconds left in the 4th quarter in the 16–13 win.[24] In Week 14 against the Cleveland Browns, following Lamar Jackson's injury late in the first quarter, Huntley came into the game, threw 27 from 38, 270 yards, one touchdown, and almost led the Ravens to a comeback win, narrowly losing 22–24.[25] The injury also kept Jackson out for the next week, and Huntley started his second career game in Week 15 against the Green Bay Packers, playing well, throwing 28 from 40, for 215 yards, and two touchdowns, while rushing for another 73 yards and two touchdowns. The Ravens, however, lost this game 30–31, following a last-minute failed two-point conversion.[26]

On December 24, 2021, it was reported that Tyler Huntley was expected to start[27] again due to Lamar Jackson's injured ankle. On Christmas Day, Huntley was put on the Reserve/COVID-19 list rendering him unable to start against the Cincinnati Bengals. On December 30, 2021, Huntley was activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list [28] making him the starter at quarterback for the Ravens against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 17, which resulted in a 19–20 loss.[29]
