Petty finds success in limited 2016 action

By Nathan Keil | Sports Writer

Former Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty just completed his second season in the NFL. After watching his rookie season from the sidelines, Petty got his feet wet with six appearances, including four starts in 2016.

Petty opened the season as the third-string quarterback for the New York Jets. After a lack of production on the field and in the win column by quarterbacks Ryan Fitzpatrick and Geno Smith, Petty stepped into the limelight as he was named the starter for the remainder of the 2016 season.

Petty got the opportunity to start in week 11 against the Los Angeles Rams.
