Ryan Mallett’s last NFL snap came on Oct. 26, 2017, as a Baltimore Raven.
But the former University of Arkansas quarterback and third-round NFL Draft pick by the New England Patriots hasn’t hung up his helmet and cleats yet.
Mallett, 32, has signed on with The Spring League, a developmental league with many players who have earned NFL paychecks and aspire to return there. He is scheduled to report today in Houston.
The eight-team league, with pods in Indianapolis and Houston, will open play May 6.
The 6-7 Mallett plays for the Generals, who open their six-game season May 8 against the Jousters at Rice Stadium.
