Chris Redman (born July 7, 1977) was a former NFL quarterback that played for the Baltimore Ravens. He was a star quarterback at the University of Louisville, but he never had a great career as a professional.

[edit] College Career

Redman attended the University of Louisville where he played quarterback from 1996-1999, amassing 12,541 yards, third most ever for a Division 1-A quarterback.[1] In 1999, Redman was first-team all conference USA and won the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award. In 1998, Redman set a Louisville record by throwing for 4,042 yards and 29 touchdowns, and lead the nation with a single game performance of 592 passing yards against East Carolina. Redman was the first Cardinal QB to lead his team to back-to-back bowl appearances.

[edit] NFL Career

Redman drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in the 2000 NFL Draft, out of Louisville. He suffered a back injury in 2002 and lost his starting position. He was signed to play with the New England Patriots in 2005. He was released by the Patriots in January, 2005, which led him to try out for the 3rd quarterback position of the Tennessee Titans, where he was also cut. He is currently without a contract and it is unclear whether or not he will play professional football again. His father, Bob Redman, is the coach of Louisville Male High School's football team where Chris played as well.
