Keenum has played on 6 teams in 9 seasons in the NFL and has made 62 starts (going 27-35). Since I have been researching numbers for some of the rookie prospects this year, I discovered the crazy college numbers Keenum put up at Houston . . .
- Most career passing yards: 19,217 (second is 17,072)
- Most career passing TD: 155 (second is 142)
- Most total offense in a career: 20,114 (second is 16,910)
- Most career completions: 1,546 (second most is 1,403)
- Three 5,000 yard passing seasons (three of the Top 16 seasons and 2 in the Top 5)
- Three seasons with 44 or more TD passes (3 of the Top 23 seasons)
- Responsible for 178 career TD (second most is 153)
- Top 10 in Career Passing Efficiency at the time he finished his college career (since passed by many others)
- Six games 500+ passing yards, 15 over 400, 39 over 300 (all FBS / D-I records)
- Single game high of 9 TD passes. 12 games with 5 or more TD passes.
- Nine games with a QB rating of 200+ with a high of 269.2
After putting up those insane numbers, Keenum didn't even get drafted and signed as an UDFA with the Texans.
I can't say that I remember much about him in college 10+ years ago other than seeing his name scroll across the ticker with some crazy game day numbers and Sports Center highlights. Did people just think his game wouldn't translate at the NFL level? Does anyone remember the knock on him and why no one really considered him a legit NFL prospect?
