The Ravens entered Week 14 already down their starting quarterback Lamar Jackson. Now, it appears that they are down their top backup, Tyler Huntley, as well.

Huntley was able to get to the sideline, but he was taken into the locker room after the hit. Huntley was later ruled out with a concussion. So, the Ravens turned to their lone remaining healthy quarterback on their active roster.
That would be undrafted rookie Anthony Brown.
Brown may not be well-known by NFL fans, but he did have a noteworthy college career. He played at two Power-5 schools and put together solid stats at both locations.
But who exactly is Brown? Here's what to know about the Ravens' newest quarterback.

Who is Anthony Brown?
Brown is an undrafted rookie who the Ravens signed the week after the 2022 NFL Draft. The 24-year-old played five NCAA seasons at two schools and did enough to impress the Ravens during the draft process to land on the team's 90-man roster.
Brown has spent the 2022 NFL season on Baltimore's practice squad. He was elevated from that unit to serve as the backup to Huntley. Now, he is the team's top quarterback after injuries to Jackson and Huntley.

Where did Anthony Brown go to college?
Brown spent time at two colleges during his NCAA career. The 6-1, 217-pound passer began his career at Boston College where he served as a three-year starter for the Eagles.
After his junior season at Boston College, Brown transferred to Oregon. He went on to be a two-year starter for the Ducks and put together what was arguably his best season in 2021. It wasn't enough to get him drafted, but it firmly put him on the NFL radar.

Anthony Brown stats
Brown posted good numbers as a dual-threat quarterback during his college days. He largely served as a traditional passer within the Eagles' offense but used his mobility more at Oregon.
Below is a look at his numbers in each of his five collegiate seasons.

| 2017 | 51.9 | 1,367 | 11 | 9 | 210 | 1 |

Brown continued his success at the NFL level, as he performed well in the preseason. He saw significant action in Baltimore's three wins and earned a spot on the team's practice squad.
Here is a look at Brown's preseason stats with the Ravens:
| Stat | Total |
| Comp. % | 74.5 |
| Passing yards | 464 |

Who is the Ravens' backup QB?
With Huntley out of action, the Ravens don't have a backup quarterback behind Brown. They will have to turn to an emergency option if Brown gets hurt, but it's unclear who would serve in that role for the team.
However, if Huntley is out beyond this week and Jackson can't return to action, veteran Brett Hundley would be the new backup behind Brown. He also spent time with the Ravens during the offseason and was signed to the practice squad after Jackson's injury.
