Joey Elliott only started one year and never took an NFL snap, so he won't say he's in the famed Cradle of Quarterbacks. However, in that one season, he led Purdue to their only win at Michigan in 53 years and upset a top-ten Ohio State team.
The former Boilermaker signal-caller was the latest guest in our Catching Up With series this afternoon. Elliott looked back on a rocky transition from the end of the Joe Tiller era to the start of the ill-fated Danny Hope tenure, an up-and-down senior season, and his role now as a scout with the Indianapolis Colts.
