4. Ryan Mallett
Sitting behind Tom Brady for most of his pro career, Mallett finally got an opportunity to start in Houston, but the stint was short-lived. Mallett started two games before a pectoral injury cost him the 2014 season, and as a free agent this spring he’ll have another chance to try and find another starting opportunity.
In two games, Mallett passed for 400 yards, two touchdowns and two picks with a QBR of 48.19. But he looked comfortable in Bill O’Brien’s up-tempo offense when he got his shot in Week 11.
The bill is not yet out on Mallett, and a return to Houston should not be ruled out. He was a highly touted recruit and college football player, and because of his raw skill-set should command some suitors on the market.
