College career

[edit]

Texas Tech

[edit]

2013

[edit]

Webb was ranked a 4-star prospect coming out of high school by ESPN and signed with Texas Tech University to play for the Red Raiders. Webb alternated as a backup quarterback behind fellow freshman Baker Mayfield, and as a starter, during his freshman year in 2013. Webb became only the second true freshman at the position to play for the school. Webb had been afflicted by an undetermined illness.[2]

Webb made his first game appearance in the contest against TCU, where he threw the game-winning touchdown to wide receiver Bradley Marquez. Following an injury to Mayfield, Webb made his first career start in an appearance against Iowa State, which saw him pass for 415 yards and 3 touchdowns. His performance marked the fourth most yards passing for first time starter in school history.

He followed up his Iowa State performance with a record-setting performance against West Virginia. Webb passed for 462 yards, 36–50 attempts, and two touchdowns, making Webb the first quarterback in school history to pass for over 400 yards twice in his freshman season. Additionally, the yardage broke the school freshman passing record previously held by Billy Joe Tolliver. The passing yardage also set a Big 12 Conference freshman passing record, beating the mark set by Baylor's Nick Florence in 2009.[1]

The game against Oklahoma State saw Webb complete 45 passes on 71 attempts for 425 yards. The number of completions and attempts ranked fourth overall, and second overall behind Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell.[1]

Webb struggled in an outing against Kansas State, and did not play in the second half. However, his 78 yards thrown pushed him over the previous record for the school single season freshman passing yards previously held by Zebbie Lethridge in 1994. After Webb's poor performance against Kansas State, Mayfield returned to the starting role for the next two games against Baylor and Texas.

It was announced during the preparations for the 2013 Holiday Bowl, that Mayfield was going to be transferring from the school following a "miscommunication" and the open competition for the starting position.[3] The departure of Mayfield ensured that the only competition for the starting job for the Holiday Bowl was going to be Michael Brewer.

Webb was named the starter for the Holiday Bowl against a top 15 Arizona State team, after the month of bowl practice. Webb provided one of the most impressive performances of the 2013–14 NCAA football bowl season. He finished the game with 403 yards, 28–41 passing and four touchdowns in the 37–23 upset, tying a Holiday Bowl touchdown record and earning MVP honors.[4]

Webb concluded his freshman season with several Big 12 Conference freshman records: single game total offense, single game offensive plays, most 400 yard passing performances, passing yards in a single game, passing attempts in a single game, passes completed in a single game. His performance also marked school freshman records for completions, attempts, touchdowns, passing yards, and 400 yard games. Webb was named honorable mention Freshman All-American by College Football News, Big 12 Broadcasters Conference Freshman of the Year, and he received several weekly honors.[5][6]

2014

Webb was named the starting quarterback at the start of the 2014 season, following the transfer of fellow quarterback Michael Brewer to Virginia Tech.[7] Both Webb and the team as a whole were named dark horse candidates for the Heisman Trophy and the national championship respectively by ESPN.[8][9] Webb was named to the Maxwell Award and Manning Award watchlists for the best quarterback in college football. Webb started the first eight games of the season before suffering a season-ending ankle injury in a game against TCU on October 25, 2014. He was replaced by true freshman Patrick Mahomes. It was revealed later that Webb was going to undergo surgery on his shoulder, which he injured originally on September 25 in a game against Oklahoma State.[10][11][12]

He was eligible to play immediately as a graduate transfer.[16]

Webb completed 382 of 620 passes (62%) for 4295 yards, 37 touchdowns and 12 interceptions for a 135.63 QBR, in one season at California. He set school single-season records for passing attempts, completions and total plays while tying three other school records, including total touchdowns [43 (37 passing, 6 rushing)], and 300-yard passing games (10). He was named the Golden Bears' Season MVP and won the Reese's Senior Bowl MVP award in 2016. Webb was also nominated to the College Football All-America Team, and was a semi-finalist for both the Davey O'Brien National Quarterback Award and the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award, as well as an honorable mention All-Pac-12 Conference choice of the league's coaches and the Pac-12 Newcomer of the Year.

Throughout the 2025 season, Webb's work with rookie starter and backup has been central to the Broncos' quarterback development, with both players praising his detailed approach and ability to foster a collaborative room. Former head coach , who coached Webb as a player with the and , has highlighted his intelligence and game understanding as key to his rapid coaching rise. The Broncos' offense showed flashes of improvement in the passing game amid early-season struggles, exemplified by a dramatic 33-32 comeback victory over the Giants on October 19, 2025, where Nix threw for key scores in the fourth quarter after trailing by 19 points. By November 2025, his contributions have fueled speculation about head coaching opportunities for the 2026 cycle, with reports indicating interest from teams seeking innovative offensive minds. Following inconsistent offensive outputs, including the Giants game, analysts and former players have called for Payton to delegate more play-calling to Webb, citing his preseason success and strategic insight. In January 2026, the Las Vegas Raiders formally requested permission to interview Webb for their head coaching vacancy, as first reported by Tom Pelissero of NFL Media. Webb, who turns 31 on January 22, 2026, is scheduled to interview on Wednesday, January 8, 2026, as reported by Adam Schefter of ESPN. This marks his first head coaching interview. On January 8, 2026, the Baltimore Ravens completed an interview with Webb for their head coaching vacancy. Webb, nearly 31 years old, has prior experience including as a player with the New York Giants, and has drawn interest from other NFL teams like the Las Vegas Raiders.
