Blough began his NFL career with Detroit in 2019 after going undrafted out of Purdue. He started 5 games for an injured Matthew Stafford in 2019 but has appeared in just 2 games for the Lions over the past two seasons.
In three seasons, Blough has thrown for 1,033 yards with 4 touchdowns and 7 interceptions. Blough earned a Thanksgiving Day start in 2019 but went 0-5 as a starter.
We’ll see if Blough is able to land with a new entering 2022.
