New York Jets reserve quarterback Trevor Siemian was a Northwestern QB who fell to the Broncos seventh-round draft pick in the 2015 Draft (250th overall). After a senior year-ending ACL injury, the Big Ten star watched as pedestrian names like Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota, Bryce Petty, Garrett Grayson, Brett Hundley, and Sean Mannion come off the board.
After three seasons as a winning QB in Denver — with a solid 18-10 record and 73.3 QBR — Siemian spent the 2018 season with the Minnesota Vikings, and never got off the bench as Kirk Cousins‘ backup.
