The former EMU quarterback owns the school's record for touchdown passes
CLEVELAND, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) - Former Eastern Michigan University quarterback Brogan Roback (Maumee, Ohio-Toledo St. John's Jesuit) has signed a free agent contract with the Cleveland Browns. This comes on the heels of a mini-camp workout last week with the Baltimore Ravens.
The Toledo, Ohio native will go down as one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play for Eastern Michigan, as Roback owns program records of 57 touchdown passes and 8,876 yards of total offense. He also ranks second all-time with 745 completions and 8,653 yards passing. To go along with the all-time school records, Roback also had one of the best careers of any active FBS quarterback. His passing yards were 12th among active QBs, while his yards of total offense ranked 13th.
In 2017, the Maumee, Ohio product ranked 27th nationally in passing yardage (2,890), 34th in passing touchdowns (19), and 36th in passing yards per game (240.8). A Third Team All-MAC selection, Roback set the standard for career touchdown passes against Central Michigan, Nov. 8, and career total offense against Miami, Nov. 15. Due to an injury suffered on Senior Day, he finished the year just 110 yards shy of joining Charlie Batch as the only quarterbacks in program history to pass for more than 3,000 yards in a season.
Roback is one of just four quarterbacks on the Brown's roster joining Drew Stanton, Tyrod Taylor and the first selection in the 2018 NFL Draft, Baker Mayfield.
