abstract
  • Tyler Palko (born August 9, 1983) is an American football quarterback and currently a free agent. He currently works for Northwestern Mutual as a financial representative in Pittsburgh and also does weekly broadcasts for Pitt Panthers Television on Comcast. Palko was the starting quarterback at the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) from 2004 to 2006. The left-handed thrower was not selected in the 2007 NFL Draft, but was signed by the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent. After spending most of the 2007 season on the Saints practice squad and occasionally the active roster, Palko was waived and did not play in a game in 2008. He joined the Arizona Cardinals on a future contract in December 2008, but was waived again in September 2009. Palko then joined the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League before receiving a release to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers in November 2009. He signed a future contract with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2010, but spent most of his time on the team's practice squad before joining the active roster near the end of the season. After entering the 2011 season as the backup to Matt Cassel, Palko was elevated to starting quarterback after Cassel broke his hand.
