Tyler Palko Biography

Tyler Palko is one of the most popular and richest American Football Player who was born on August 9, 1983 in Imperial, Imperial, United States. Tyler Palko (born August 9, 1983) is a former American football quarterback. He does weekly broadcasts for Pittsburgh Panthers Television on Comcast and lives in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Palko was redshirted the following season in 2003. As a redshirt-sophomore in 2004, Palko threw for 3,067 yards and 24 touchdowns, with only seven interceptions, earning him second-team All-Big East honors. He was also named Pitt’s MVP and offensive captain as a first-year starter. Palko’s 24 touchdowns led the Big East and were the third-highest single-season total in Pitt history, and his total passing yardage was the most ever for a sophomore and third-best overall in school history as well. Palko also had four 300-yard passing games and one 400-yard passing game during this season alone. In a game against the University of South Florida, Palko threw for a career-high 411 yards, the fifth-highest in school history, and matched a personal best of five touchdowns with no interceptions. Palko threw another five touchdown passes and totaled 334 yards in the air with no interceptions against Notre Dame, becoming the first quarterback to throw for five touchdowns in a single game as a visiting team player against the Fighting Irish. Late in the fourth quarter against Notre Dame, the Panthers went on two late scoring drives: one for a touchdown and the second for a game-winning field goal with one second left to play. Palko also led three consecutive scoring drives against Temple to overcome a 10-point fourth quarter deficit. They also surprised the West Virginia Mountaineers in the Backyard Brawl after being down 13-9 in the fourth quarter. Palko led a drive that consisted of four third-down conversions, ending with his two-yard touchdown run. Pittsburgh earned a bid to play in the Fiesta Bowl against the Utah Utes, where Palko was sacked nine times in a 35-7 loss.

As a junior in 2005, Palko earned second-team Big East honors for a second consecutive season and was also named Pitt’s captain for the second year in a row. Palko’s passing statistics were not as outstanding as the previous year’s, with 2,392 yards and 17 touchdowns with nine interceptions. However, his six rushing touchdowns were a career-high and a team high for the season, and Palko was Pitt’s third leading scorer with 36 points. Palko’s 371 yards and four passing touchdowns against Rutgers University were season highs in 2005, while his 35 completions out of 58 attempts were both career highs. Against West Virginia, he threw for 308 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in a loss. Palko also threw for 198 yards and a touchdown against a strong opponent in the University of Louisville. In the season- opener against Notre Dame, Palko threw for 220 yards with one touchdown and one interception while rushing for a four-yard score as well.

After replacing Walt Harris as head coach in the spring of 2005, Dave Wannstedt chose Palko over Joe Flacco as the starting quarterback during Pitt’s spring training. Flacco was left to run Pitt’s second team and eventually transferred to Division I-AA University of Delaware. Flacco became the starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens in 2008, a year after Palko had been signed and subsequently waived by the Saints.

Notes: Uses NCAA (rather than NFL) passer rating model. The NCAA indicates he played one game (bringing his total Pittsburgh career games played to 44) in 2003, but was redshirted that year without any record of passes or rushes. His official Panther biography says he did not play at all in 2003.
