Everything about Jay Cutler American Football totally explained
Jay Christopher Cutler (born
April 29,
1983 in
Santa Claus,
Indiana) is an
American football quarterback for the
Denver Broncos of the
National Football League. He was drafted by the Broncos with the 11th overall pick in the
2006 NFL Draft. He played
college football at
Vanderbilt University.
Early years
Cutler attended
Heritage Hills High School in
Lincoln City, Indiana. He started three years at quarterback, amassing a combined 26-1 record for his junior and senior years, including a perfect 15-0 during his senior year. Cutler and his team outscored opponents 746-85, including a 90-0 shutout at Pike Central. During his senior year, Cutler connected on 122-of-202 passes (60.4%) for 2,252 yards with 31 touchdowns, while rushing 65 times for 493 yards with 11 touchdowns. He also started at
safety for three years, intercepting nine passes as a senior, 12th overall in the state.
Cutler was named a first-team All-State selection by the
Associated Press as a senior.
The Commodores ended their season, and Cutler's Vanderbilt career, at Tennessee against the Tennessee Volunteers with a 28-24 win. The victory was Vanderbilt's first over the Volunteers since
1982, the year before Cutler was born. The win also marked Vanderbilt's first victory over Tennessee on the Volunteers' home field in Knoxville since 1975. Cutler passed for three touchdowns and 315 yards during the game, becoming the first quarterback in school history to record four consecutive 300-yard passing performances. At the 2006
NFL Scouting Combine, Cutler completed 23 repetitions of a 225-
pound bench press (more than some linemen) and ran a 40-yard dash in 4.77 seconds.
After attracting interest from the
Oakland Raiders,
Detroit Lions,
Arizona Cardinals and
Baltimore Ravens, Cutler was surprisingly selected by the
Denver Broncos with the 11th pick in the draft, after the Broncos acquired the pick from the
St. Louis Rams by trading their 15th and 68th overall picks. Many believed Cutler was chosen by the Broncos due to the lackluster performance in the previous season's by then-starting quarterback,
Jake Plummer. After the surprise pick by Denver, Cutler said, "We had no warning. I think I knew about 15 seconds before everyone else did." Cutler, as predicted by most, became the third quarterback chosen, after Young (3rd overall) and Leinart (10th). He is the third first round pick to come from Vanderbilt, preceded by
Will Wolford and
Bill Wade. Cutler agreed to terms on a six-year contract on
July 27,
2006 worth $48 million, which included $11 million in bonuses.
