A familiar face showed up on the transaction wire in the Canadian Football League as former Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Ricky Stanzi continues his professional football career with the Calgary Stampeders.
Stanzi was the Chiefs fifth round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft under then-general manager Scott Pioli. Stanzi, a product from the University of Iowa, was picked after a strong senior year with career highs in multiple categories and a TD/INT ratio of 25/6 while also winning all three bowl games he ever played.
Unfortunately for Stanzi he never threw a single NFL pass in his career, with the Chiefs or otherwise.
