Jarrett Guarantano, former Tennessee QB, signs with NFL team after rookie minicamp
Jarrett Guarantano spent the first 5 years of his college football career with the Tennessee Volunteers before taking advantage of a sixth year of eligibility to transfer to Washington State in 2021.
He went undrafted in the 2022 NFL Draft, but over the weekend, he impressed during a rookie minicamp opportunity with the Arizona Cardinals.
Now, the team has announced on Monday that Guarantano is 1 of 6 players being signed to a contract following the minicamp:
The quarterback room has Kyler Murray at the top, followed by Colt McCoy and Trace McSorley. Regardless of voluntary attendance, the Cardinals were always certain to add another arm to throw in the offseason and training camp.
Guarantano’s 2021 season ended in Week 1 after he suffered a knee injury. During his time at Tennessee, he appeared in 41 games, throwing for 6,174 yards, 38 touchdowns and 17 interceptions. He added 5 touchdowns as a runner.
JG is like a Jugs Machine for CBs!
Well I’m happy for him And hope he makes it. He wasn’t very good for UT but he was a one dedicated and tough vol. he always impressed at practice at UT too though. Anyway good luck JG!
Good for him. When JG was on, he was on but when he was off, he was off. Perhaps the systems he learned at TN and being so many of them, were an added pressure to him to do well and that is when his nerves seem to cause him issues. But the tools were always there to be good. Go ball out JG certainly earned your lumps.
NFL talent that stunk it up in Knoxville lol
Suddenly 85 former college QB’s demand a tryout and Colin K whines just a little bit more.
Kneeling has consequences
Nobody wants the toxicity and drama that Kapernick would bring to a team.
He is still trying so that looks good on him. At Tennessee I thought he never got past average. Maybe he is one of those QBs who get better over time? My bet is though he will throw the ball around this summer and get cut. Maybe he can get a spot on a practice squad and that team has QB injuries during the season. He could land on a active roster that way.
