former Syracuse QB with a short, injury-shortened college run
Cody Catalina was a three-star Syracuse quarterback recruit in the 2007 class, but his college path quickly shifted from QB to tight end before a knee and nerve injury in 2009 ended his playing career. In the 2009 season, he appeared in eight games and made four starts, finishing with 13 catches for 104 yards and a touchdown, a neat little reminder that he could be useful as a versatile, physical mismatch. The bigger story is durability: his comeback was medically halted in 2011, so he’s better remembered for toughness, football IQ, and adaptability than for pro-style quarterback production.
