After becoming a star in the XFL, former Indianapolis Colts quarterback Phillip “P.J.” Walker is reportedly signing a one-year deal with the Carolina Panthers, per Diana Russini of ESPN.
Walker initially joined the Colts in 2017 as an undrafted free agent out of Temple. He stayed in the quarterback room seeing playing time only during the preseason while leading the practice squad during the regular season.
He was waived before the 2019 season in favor of Chad Kelly and eventually made his way to the XFL, which was rebooted in 2020. He became a star leading the Houston Roughnecks.
In five games, Walker led the Roughnecks to a 5-0 record while throwing for 1,338 yards, 15 touchdowns, four interceptions and a 104.4 passer rating.
