Koy Dennis Detmer (born July 5, 1973) is an American football player who is currently a free agent. He played college football at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Up until his release in August 2006, he had played his entire career in Philadelphia. His action as a starter was limited to his rookie season and spent most of his career as a backup to quarterback Donovan McNabb as well as David Akers' place-kick holder. After becoming a backup, his starts were limited to one game in 2002 (in which he himself was injured after throwing 2 TDs) and the 2004 season finale against Cincinnati which the Eagles lost.

Detmer was released after the Eagles signed Jeff Garcia as the backup and moved punter Dirk Johnson into the role of kick holder.

His brother, Ty Detmer, also played quarterback for the Eagles. [1]
