Early life

Walker was born in 1995 in Elizabeth, New Jersey, to parents Tamicha Drake and Phillip Walker Sr. Walker attended Elizabeth High School. During his junior year, Walker threw for 2,168 yards and 18 touchdowns, while going 120-of-189 (63.5 percent) in passing percentage. Following the completion of his high school career, Walker chose to attend Temple University, under head coach Matt Rhule. [2]

College career

After accepting an athletic scholarship to attend Temple University, Walker played for coach Matt Rhule's Temple Owls team from 2013 to 2016.

2013 season

Walker began his collegiate career as a backup to Connor Reilly. Walker would eventually earn the starting spot at quarterback in week 6 against Cincinnati, where he would throw his first collegiate touchdown. [3] Walker obtained his first win of his career in week 7 against Army, by a score of 33–14. [4] He would receive his first collegiate weekly award (QB of the week – CFPA – honorable mention) following a 59–49 loss to SMU in week 9. [5] In the final week of the season, Walker earned American Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week and was a finalist for the Manning Award. [6] Walker would finish his freshman year having started 7 out of 12 games.

2014 season

Walker's sophomore season did not include as many highlights as his 2013 debut performance; however, Walker did earn career-high completions (29) and pass attempts (49) in a losing effort against Navy in Week 2. [7] Walker was able to secure three honorable mentions during the season (Weeks 1, 2 and 4) and passed for at least 1 touchdown in his first seven games.

2015 season

Walker would start every game in his junior year, becoming only the third person to do so in Owl history. In a rare feat, Walker would both throw for and receive a pass in two two-point conversion attempts in Week 8 in a winning effort against UCF. [8] Walker would lead the Owls to a 10–4 overall record (7–1 in conference play), earning a bid to the Boca Raton Bowl in losing effort against the Toledo Rockets by a score of 17–32. [9] He finished the season with a school record 2,972 passing yards and tied the record for total offense (rushing and passing) with 3,179 yards.

Additionally, Walker would receive numerous honors, accolades and watch-list nominations in the 2016 season, including American Athletic Conference Championship Game Most Outstanding Player, CFPA National Player of the Year Watch List, Davey O'Brien Award Watch List, as well as multiple preseason and conference recognitions. [11]

Indianapolis Colts

On May 3, 2017, Walker was signed by the Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted free agent. [13] He was waived on September 2, 2017, and was signed to the Colts' practice squad the next day. [14] [15] He signed a reserve/future contract with the Colts on January 1, 2018. [16] On September 1, 2018, Walker was waived by the Colts and was signed to the practice squad the next day. [17] [18] He spent time on and off the Colts practice squad before being released on December 26, 2018, but was re-signed three days later. [19] [20] He signed a reserve/future contract on January 13, 2019. [21] On August 31, 2019, Walker was waived and signed to the practice squad the next day, only to be released two days later. [22] [23]

Houston Roughnecks

In October 2019, Walker was drafted by the newly-formed XFL for the 2020 season. The Pittsburgh Steelers called the XFL office to ask if they could sign Walker in October 2019, but was blocked as he was already under contract with the league. [24] He was then allocated to the Houston Roughnecks prior to the 2020 XFL Draft. [25]

In the Roughnecks' first game against the Los Angeles Wildcats, Walker tossed four touchdowns, helping the team win a 37–17 victory. [26] He was named the league's first ever Star of the Week for his performance. [27]

Walker's final game of the 2020 campaign was marked by some controversy after, while his team was leading the Seattle Dragons 32–23, he mistakenly kneeled on fourth down at his own 21-yard-line with three seconds remaining on the clock – officials either failed to notice or refused to deal with Walker's palpable timing error and declared the game over, thus depriving Seattle the opportunity to score a touchdown and potential three-point conversion to tie the game. [28] The league later admitted it was a mistake, but declared that the result would stand.

On March 20, 2020, the season was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Walker finished the 2020 season with a 5–0 record, 1,338 passing yards and 15 touchdowns with four interceptions. He led the league in both passing touchdowns and passing yards. [29] He was placed on the reserve/other league list after signing with the Carolina Panthers in March, which was later terminated after the league had fully suspended operations on April 10, 2020. [30] [31]

Carolina Panthers

On March 25, 2020, Walker signed a two-year contract with the Panthers worth up to $1.5 million, reuniting him with former Temple head coach Matt Rhule. [32] On October 29, 2020, Walker came in for the Panthers during the third quarter against the Atlanta Falcons after an injury to Teddy Bridgewater. When playing, Walker only threw one pass completion for three yards to Robby Anderson in his four pass attempts [33] and was benched once Bridgewater was ready to play again. After Bridgewater injured his right knee in the fourth quarter of the Panthers' Week 10 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Walker finished the game, throwing for two completions and 12 yards. With Bridgewater remaining injured, Walker made his first NFL start the following week against the Detroit Lions, throwing for 258 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in a 20–0 win. [34]

On January 10, 2022, Walker re-signed with the Panthers. [35] Walker began to get playing time following Baker Mayfield's injury in Week 5 against the San Francisco 49ers. [36] In Week 7, Walker threw for 177 yards and two touchdowns in a 21–3 win over the Buccaneers. [37] In the Week 8 game against the Atlanta Falcons, Walker completed a 64-yard touchdown pass to receiver D. J. Moore that would’ve essentially sealed the game for Carolina. However, due to Moore taking his helmet off and drawing a flag, the game went into overtime after kicker Eddy Piñeiro missed the extra point, although it was later determined that no flag should have been thrown because Moore was already off the field. [38] The Panthers would go on to lose the game 34–37 in overtime. [39]

Chicago Bears

On March 16, 2023, Walker signed a two-year contract with the Chicago Bears. [40] On August 27, 2023, he was released by the team. [41]

Cleveland Browns

On August 30, 2023, Walker was signed to the Cleveland Browns practice squad. [42] He was elevated to the active roster on September 30 ahead of the Browns Week 4 game against the Baltimore Ravens. [43] Walker was again elevated to the active roster and named the starter for the Browns' Week 6 game against the San Francisco 49ers following an injury to Deshaun Watson. [44] In his first start, Walker led the Browns to victory over San Francisco with a final score of 19–17. In Week 7, Walker entered the game again due to an injury to Watson, throwing for 178 yards and leading the Browns to a 39–38 last-minute win over the Colts. On October 25, the Browns signed him to their active roster. [45] He was waived by the Browns on December 9, and re-signed to the practice squad four days later. [46] [47] On December 26, Walker was signed to the active roster. [48]

Seattle Seahawks

On June 10, 2024, Walker signed with the Seattle Seahawks. [49] He was released on August 27. [50]

Calgary Stampeders

On October 8, 2024, Walker was signed to the practice roster of the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League. [51]
