It’s been a long road for former Syracuse football quarterback Eric Dungey. There were no guarantees he would even get a shot in the NFL after his medical history, going undrafted, and the constant questions about Eric even playing quarterback.
That last point is something Tim Tebow battled throughout his five year NFL career.
Although obviously there are some stark differences in their paths to the pros:
- Tebow was the 25th overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft. Dungey went undrafted.
- Tim wasn’t forced to miss college games due to injuries (he played in 55 games in his four-year career at Florida).
