Huntley spent the first four years of his professional career with the Ravens. Primarily serving as a backup to NFL MVP Lamar Jackson, the former Ute appeared in 20 games during that time. While with Baltimore, he completed 221 of 342 passes for 1,957 yards and eight touchdowns.
This decision is beneficial for both Huntley and the Ravens for several reasons. He’s already well-liked by fans and teammates, and he fits seamlessly into the team’s offensive system.

The Ravens have centered their offense around Jackson since he established himself as a premier quarterback in 2019. He poses a significant threat both as a runner and a passer—arguably more so with his legs.
Huntley’s playing style closely resembles Jackson’s. Both quarterbacks excel at throwing on the run and gaining extra yards when facing tight pass coverage, making them true dual threats.
When Huntley was released by the Browns, it was clear he would be picked up; the question was only where.
Huntley and the Ravens will begin their 2024 season against the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday, September 5.
