Hey everybody. I'm Caitlin Kailer. I'm a senior NFL writer for the athletic.

Welcome to KB2, the show where we talk to only my

favorite players in football, the backup quarterbacks. The backups are rarely in the spotlight,

but here on KB2, we celebrate them and we give them their moment to share their knowledge and

stories with us. KB2 is also a very loose term because these guys in this role are regularly

shifting up and down and up and down the depth

chart as their careers go on. And today's guest knows that roller coaster very, very well. As a high

school senior, he was the number one quarterback in the nation. He had 18 Division I offers, but after

a tumultuous college experience, he went undrafted. He signed with the Panthers as an undrafted free agent in 2018, and while he was there,

he ended up starting 13 games for injured Cam Newton and Taylor Heineke.

He became a big story in 2019 when he won four straight games in relief of Cam.

He started four more games as a member of the washington football team and he's now in his

fifth NFL season his first in houston backing up davis mills welcome to the show kyle allen
