The Arizona Cardinals are entering the 2024 season in an attempt to turn around the direction of their franchise. They’ve had one season above .500 since 2016 (2021 they went 11-6 and lost in the wild card round of the playoffs).
They’re hoping that a healthy Kyler Murray with rookie Marvin Harrison Jr. can be a kickstart to the offense. However, there is one former signal caller who will be in the broadcast booth from now on.
Former Arizona Cardinals Signal Caller Hangs Up His Cleats
Colt McCoy, who played 13 seasons in the NFL, including six with the Washington Commanders, two with the Arizona Cardinals, and one with the 49ers, is retiring and moving into broadcasting. His decision was announced via a YouTube video:
The University of Texas had one of their best quarterbacks in history in McCoy:
While McCoy played 13 seasons in the NFL, he is still much more well known for his time as the quarterback at the University of Texas from 2005 to 2009.
McCoy was a redshirt freshman on Texas’ 2005 BCS national championship team then became a 4-year starter for the Longhorns. He left school with the NCAA Division I career record for wins for a quarterback (45), was the only player in school history to win or share team MVP 4 consecutive years and was a 2-time Heisman Trophy finalist.
He was also a two-time Walter Camp Player of the Year Award winner and led Texas to the BCS National Championship Game following the 2009 season. He also won the Maxwell Award and the Davey O’Brien Award that season.
Against Alabama in the BCS National Championship Game, McCoy was famously knocked out of the game with a shoulder injury on Texas’ first offensive series.
McCoy was drafted by the Browns in the 3rd round (No. 85 overall) of the 2010 NFL draft.
