Koy Detmer Biography

Koy Detmer is one of the most popular and richest American Football Player who was born on July 5, 1973 in San Antonio, San Antonio, United States. The speculative fiction work 17776 mentions a scavenger hunt played in the far future in which players try to find every football autographed by Detmer. It assumes that Detmer signed a total of 43 footballs throughout his career, poking fun that it would be far fewer than his brother, Ty.

Detmer had his NFL career extended for a few days by signing with the Minnesota Vikings on November 6, 2007. The Vikings needed a second quarterback behind Brooks Bollinger while Tarvaris Jackson and Kelly Holcomb recovered from injuries. Detmer was reunited with Vikings head coach Brad Childress, who had been with the Eagles as the offensive coordinator. Detmer’s stint with the Vikings was his first professional experience not in an Eagle uniform. The Vikings released Detmer on November 10, 2007, once Holcomb had recovered sufficiently to play.

Detmer is a coach on the Somerset High School (Somerset, Texas) staff under his father, head coach Hubert “Sonny” Detmer. He also coached his son, Koy Detmer Jr., at Somerset. His son committed to Ty’s alma mater, Brigham Young University, as a walk-on quarterback for the 2015 season. Mission CISD named Koy Detmer the Mission High School football coach at a board meeting on February 1, 2016. He is married to Monica Miller Detmer, who is a teacher and high school girls’ basketball coach in Mission.

Drafted in the 7th round of the 1997 NFL draft, Detmer spent the next 10 years in Philadelphia. He spent most of his career as a backup to quarterback Donovan McNabb and as the place-kick holder for David Akers. His action as a starter was limited to five games in the 1998 season and one game in the 2002 season, in which McNabb was out with a broken ankle. Detmer played well in that game, going 18 of 26 for 227 yards and three total touchdowns (two passing and one rushing). He dislocated his elbow in the fourth quarter of that game and was replaced by third-string quarterback A. J. Feeley. Detmer healed enough to play in the final games of 2002, but head coach Andy Reid decided to stay with Feeley, who was having success. He also saw sporadic playing time in the 2004 and 2005 seasons.
