The Indianapolis Colts aren't shying away from getting a look at even the most overlooked at quarterback.

That alone stole the headlines on Tuesday, but Indianapolis did work out another quarterback with Rivers. That name is former Memphis Tiger and Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback, Seth Henigan.Undrafted free agent Seth Henigan .

Henigan spent the offseason + first month of the season with the Jags.December 9, 2025 Henigan's name is completely under the radar, but his time in college with the Tigers was incredible, even setting university records. Henigan put up unreal numbers in four years. Below are the numbers that back off how excellent this young gunslinger was.104 passing touchdowns While Memphis isn't a hotbed for quarterback talent, Henigan's numbers are historic for the university. Even when discussing better Division 1 numbers for a quarterback, Henigan's stats are elite.

This brings in an easy prediction that Rivers will be brought up to the active roster. But, they still need a backup for Sunday. To be honest and direct, the fact that Indy signed Rivers at all speaks to how desperate this team is for help, so this could end up working great for Henigan.as QB2. At this point, anything is possible. Who's to say that if Rivers blows Steichen away during practice, that he isn't outright the QB1? Even if/when Leonard returns. The past week for the Colts has been a circus, so nothing should be surprising at this point regarding their quarterback situation. Keep a close eye on this franchise this week. While the Colts' season took an absolute nosedive afterHenigan is a name to keep an eye on, and while it's assumed that Rivers will win the starting job since he knows the book of Steichen like the back of his hand, don't count out the former Tiger's chances to get signed.Thank you Jacksonville!
