Brandon Weeden Recaps His Career
STILLWATER -- There's a few names that are synonymous with greatness at Oklahoma State: Neill Armstrong, Thurman Thomas, Barry Sanders, Mike Gundy, Rashaun Woods, Justin Blackmon, James Washington. Another one that comes to mind, and rightfully so, is Brandon Weeden.
Weeden was on campus early last week, once in the Orange Power studios with Dave Hunziker doing a preview for the Texas Tech game, and then on the field doing an interview with Jessica Morrey.
We've heard time and time again that Weeden doesn't want to get into coaching. Earlier this week, Weeden took to Instagram to post about how he was a guest of the Monday Night Football crew. Going through the production aspect of the game, as well as being up in the broadcast booth.
With him being back in Stillwater last week in the studio doing a breakdown with Dave Hunziker and his trip to San Francisco with the Monday Night Football crew, does this mean that he's going to make the foray into broadcasting? It's certainly possible.
Weeden was a quarterback at Oklahoma State from 2008 to 2011, but only started his junior and senior seasons leading the Pokes to a 23-3 record and a Big 12 title during those two seasons.
During his four seasons, Weeden threw for 9,260 yards and 75 touchdowns on a 69.5 completion percentage.
Following his time at Oklahoma State, he was drafted in the first round by the Cleveland Browns, but only spent two seasons with the Browns as he went 438-of-784 for 5,116 yards with 23 touchdowns and 26 interceptions.
He then spent two seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, two seasons with the Houston Texans and one with the Tennessee Titans before finishing his career with one season back in Houston. Overall, Weeden threw for 6,462 yards and 31 touchdowns during his eight year career in the NFL.
While it wasn't exactly how Brandon wanted his NFL career to go, he spent more years in the league than a lot of players and he's easily going to go down as one of the best players to ever lace them up for Oklahoma State.
