In 2014, Blake Sims set the Alabama records for most passing yards and passing touchdowns in a single season, recording 3,487 yards and 28 touchdowns. (Those records have since been broken.)
He then went on to spend time in the CFL, the NFL (with the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers) and the AAF between 2015 and 2019.
Now, he’s landed another opportunity to play professional football. Per a tweet on Monday, the Spokane Shock of the Indoor Football League have signed the former Crimson Tide standout:
