Former University of Washington and (briefly) Seattle Seahawks quarterback Keith Price stepped up for the Birmingham Iron of the Alliance of American Football League on Saturday, throwing the first touchdown pass in team history in the third quarter of their 31-14 loss to the Orlando Apollos.
Price had been serving as Birmingham’s backup quarterback all season, but after starter Luis Perez threw a pick-six on the team’s third drive, they switched to Price – who immediately provided a spark for the offense, completing a two-point conversion followed by a 30-yard touchdown pass to running back Brandon Ross.
Price was a three-year starting quarterback at the University of Washington from 2011-2013. He went undrafted in the 2014 NFL Draft, eventually signing with the Seahawks.
They released him in June of that year, and he ended up spending parts of the 2015 and 2016 seasons in the canadian football league before ending up with the Irons.
