Seattle Dragons: 10 QBs with local ties they should consider
Seattle Seahawks
Danny Etling
A seventh round draft pick by New England in 2018, Danny Etling has kicked around the Nfl for five seasons and been with seven different teams. He even spent a few weeks with the CFL’s BC Lions.
The Seahawks had Etling on their practice squad for the 2020 season. When Russell Wilson was injured last year, Seattle brought him back to the practice squad for three weeks before cutting him again.
Currently, Etling is on Green Bay’s practice squad. Throughout his travels, Etling has been active for all of one game.
Alex McGough
In 2018, the Seahawks drafted Florida International QB Alex McGough in the seventh round. The best he could do is make their practice squad.
He stayed with the Seahawks for the season before getting cut. McGough also had opportunities with Jacksonville, Houston, and a second shot with Seattle but couldn’t stick for any period of time.
Last year, McGough went sixth overall to Birmingham in the USFL Draft. He suffered an ankle injury that kept him sidelined for most of the season but returned before it ended.
In the second half of the League Championship game, McGough replaced J’Mar Smith to complete the Stallions’ win.

Brett Hundley
Brett Hundley has the most NFL experience of any quarterback on this list. A former sixth round pick by Green Bay (2015), in 2017, he stepped in for the injured Aaron Rodgers, starting 9 of the Packers’ final 10 games.
After the season, Seattle traded a sixth round pick for Hundley. He spent the season watching Wilson during the latter’s Iron Man streak, never getting a snap. Since then, Hundley’s been with Arizona, Indianapolis, and Baltimore.
For his NFL career, Hundley has completed 199 of 337 for 1,902 yards with 9 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. The 29-year-old is currently a free agent.

All of these quarterbacks could use another chance to succeed in the United States. Why not do it with the Seattle Dragons?
