This offseason, the St. Louis Battlehawks moved on from their former starting quarterback A.J. McCarron, who was selected in the fifth round of the NFL draft back in 2014. Last year, former Green Bay Packers quarterback Manny Wilkins served as McCarron’s primary backup, but St. Louis also picked up 2023 seventh-round pick Max Duggan, by way of the Los Angeles Chargers, to compete with Wilkins for the starting job.

Up until game time, it was uncertain who was the winner of the quarterback competition. Once the game started, though, it was clear that it was the Wilkins show.
