FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets have signed quarterback Brandon Silvers, a former Troy University star who had been playing in the now-suspended Alliance of American Football.
Silvers threw for 777 yards, four touchdowns and one interception in three starts for the Memphis Express, including leading them to a 31-25 victory over Birmingham on March 24 in the only overtime game in AAF history.
The 24-year-old quarterback went undrafted last year after finishing his four-year career at Troy with 10,677 yards passing -- second in school history -- 71 touchdowns and 29 interceptions.
