Drew Stanton eventually became a serviceable journeyman backup quarterback in the NFL, but only after a brutal start to his career. In 2009, as a member of the Detroit Lions team that finished with a 2-14 record, Stanton had thrown three interceptions while playing in spot duty in two games.

In his lone start of the season (In Week 16), Stanton threw for only 130 yards in a 20-6 loss against the San Francisco 49ers, and among his 21 passing attempts included three interceptions. He was completely ineffective in a game against an opponent that was only days away from firing their own head coach.
