What university did Joe Flacco go to?

Seventeen-year veteran Indianapolis Colts quarterback, Joe Flacco is a name that sits well with the Ravens fan base. Not only did he have a long and fruitful eleven-year stint in Baltimore but he also gave the city and its fans their second Super Bowl in franchise history. His initial years with the Ravens were the best years of his career as he led the team to the postseason six times.

Unfortunately for the New Jersey native, his performance started to decline from 2017 onwards and with two-time MVP Lamar Jackson given the team reins in 2019, Flacco has become a journeyman in the league since than. He was traded to the Denver Broncos who signed him only for a lone season and was then traded to the New York Jets where he again signed a one-year deal.

Things never really got back to being as they were in Baltimore as Flacco struggled to keep his place with his new teams. In 2021, he signed a one-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles only to be let go even before playing a game. The Jets reacquired his services for the 2021 and 2022 seasons but he played in only a handful of games. In 2023, Deshaun Watson's injury opened the door for Flacco's comeback once again and he proved his mettle by guiding the Cleveland Browns to the postseason with his 4-1 record as a starter. This performance led to Indianapolis Colts signing him to a 1-year deal in 2024, where he will be seen backing up Anthony Richardson, who will be coming back from shoulder injury.

The team struggled going 5-6 that year while Flacco threw for 2,783 and 18 touchdowns as opposed to 10 interceptions.
