A.J. Feeley is a former American football quarterback who played in the National Football League (NFL) for over a decade. He began his football career at the University of Oregon, where he played for four years and set several school records.
Feeley was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the fifth round of the 2001 NFL Draft. He spent his first three seasons with the Eagles as a backup quarterback, but he saw limited playing time. In 2004, Feeley was traded to the Miami Dolphins, where he became the starting quarterback. He played for the Dolphins for two seasons before being traded to the San Diego Chargers in 2006.
Feeley's time with the Chargers was short-lived, as he was traded back to the Eagles later that year. He spent the next two seasons as a backup quarterback for the Eagles, but he saw significant playing time in 2007 when starting quarterback Donovan McNabb was injured. Feeley played well in McNabb's absence, leading the Eagles to a 4-1 record in his five starts.
In 2009, Feeley signed with the Carolina Panthers, but he was released before the start of the regular season. He then signed with the St. Louis Rams, where he spent the next two seasons as a backup quarterback. Feeley retired from the NFL in 2012.
Throughout his career, Feeley was known for his strong arm and accuracy as a passer. He was also praised for his work ethic and leadership skills. Despite never becoming a full-time starting quarterback in the NFL, Feeley had a successful career as a backup and was respected by his teammates and coaches.
