Question

Atlanta is turning to Desmond Ridder at quarterback. He played his college football at Cincinnati. Since the merger in 1970, who is the only other player from that school who has thrown a touchdown pass in an NFL game?

Answer

Travis Kelce. Kelce threw a 2-yard touchdown pass against Pittsburgh in a playoff game in January. The last other Bearcat to throw a touchdown was Greg Cook in 1969. Cook was the 5th pick of the draft that year, chosen by the hometown Bengals. He had a good rookie year, with 15 touchdowns in 11 starts (good passing numbers for the era). But he suffered a shoulder injury late that season that ruined his career (he missed the next three seasons entirely and attempted only 3 more passes as a pro).
