Casey Austin Keenum (born February 17, 1988) is an American football quarterback for the Houston Texans of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Houston Cougars, where he became the NCAA's all-time leader in total passing yards, touchdowns, and completions. In the 2008 college football season, Keenum ranked first nationally in total offense and second in total passing yards.[1][2]

During the 2011 season, Keenum became the Football Bowl Subdivision's all-time leader in total offense, as well as the all-time leader in total passing yards and touchdown passes by a college quarterback. As a result of his on-field contributions to Houston's success, Keenum was named to several All-American lists. He is the only quarterback in Division I FBS football history to have passed for more than 5,000 yards in each of three seasons, and the only college player to reach the 20,000-yards plateau.

After being signed by the Houston Texans as an undrafted free agent in 2012, Keenum threw for 1,760 yards and nine touchdowns in the eight games he started for the Texans in 2013 before being waived prior to the 2014 season. He was then signed to the St. Louis Rams' practice squad and then re-signed with the Texans later in 2014. In 2015, the Rams (who later relocated to Los Angeles) traded a draft pick to the Texans for Keenum, where he played until signing as a free agent with the Minnesota Vikings in 2017.

After starter Sam Bradford was injured, Keenum came in and had a career year, setting highs in starts, passing yards, completions, and touchdowns. He led the Vikings to a 13-win regular season, followed by a last-second win, known as the Minneapolis Miracle, over the New Orleans Saints in the playoffs. Following that, Keenum played for the Denver Broncos, the Washington Redskins, Cleveland Browns, and Buffalo Bills. He is known for being a journeyman quarterback by having played for seven different NFL teams, all from different divisions.

High school career

Keenum played football for Wylie High School in Abilene, Texas.[3] During his high school football career, he passed for 6,783 yards and 48 touchdowns and rushed for 41 touchdowns and 2,000 yards for the Bulldogs.[4] Logging 42 starts at quarterback, Keenum posted a career record of 31–11.[5] In 2004, Keenum led Wylie in the game-winning drive for a 17–14 victory over Cuero High School of Cuero, Texas in the Texas Class 3A Division I Championship.[6] Keenum earned varsity letters in basketball and track during his high school career.[5]

In addition to being recruited by the University of Houston, Keenum received walk-on offers from Baylor, Missouri, North Texas, and UTEP,[4] but Houston was the only FBS university to offer him a scholarship over FCS offers from Sam Houston State and Stephen F. Austin.[6]

College career

2006 season

Keenum began his college career for the Houston Cougars during the 2006 season. During Keenum's freshman season, senior Kevin Kolb held the starting quarterback position for the Cougars, leading the coaching staff to redshirt Keenum for the season.[7] The 2006 Cougars won the Conference USA championship, and Kolb was drafted by the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles.[8][9]

2007 season

In fall camp before the 2007 season, the Cougars held a de facto quarterback competition to fill the starting spot vacated by the departure of four-year starter Kevin Kolb. The competition swung between Keenum and sophomore Blake Joseph throughout two-a-days and during much of the season, with each player displaying a different set of strengths and weaknesses.

Keenum made his first collegiate appearance on September 1, 2007, when the Cougars opened the season at Oregon. He threw for 179 yards and a touchdown on 14-of-27 passing and added 47 rushing yards on nine carries against the Ducks.[10] Against C-USA rival Tulane in the second game, Keenum threw for 185 yards and a touchdown on 13-of-21 passing, leading Houston to a 34–10 win.[11] In the third game of the year against Colorado State, Keenum came on in relief of starter Blake Joseph and accounted for four touchdowns.[12] For this performance, Keenum was recognized as CollegeSportsReport.com's Division I FBS National Performer of the Week. Keenum played at quarterback in all thirteen games of the season, starting in seven.[13]

Late in the season, the Houston coaching staff selected Keenum to be the regular starting quarterback over Joseph. Keenum's outstanding pocket presence and efficient passing won out in the end over Joseph's stronger arm and running ability. Overall, he finished with 2,259 passing yards, fourteen touchdowns, and ten interceptions.[14]

Against Air Force in Dallas
in September 2008

2008 season

During the 2008 season, Keenum became the second player in school history to complete over 5,000 passing yards in one season. He also led the nation in total offense, and was the national runner-up in passing yards, behind Texas Tech's Graham Harrell.[2] The Houston Cougars showed many signs of improvement, winning their first bowl game since 1980 with a victory over Air Force, and defeating two nationally-ranked opponents.[15][16] Following the season, Keenum won the 2008 Conference USA Offensive Player of the Year award.[17]

2009 season

Keenum led the Houston Cougars to a 10–4 record in 2009.[18] Keenum finished the 2009 season with 48 total touchdowns and over 5,800 total offensive yards. His play helped Houston upset then #5-ranked Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, and later Mississippi State.[19][20][21] Houston played East Carolina on the road in the Conference USA Championship, but lost the game in the final minute.[22] Houston faced Air Force in a rematch of the previous year's Armed Forces Bowl and this time Air Force emerged victorious. In cold, windy conditions, Keenum threw six interceptions in the game, and was held to only one touchdown.[23] He finished in eighth place in the Heisman Trophy voting in the 2009 season.[24] He was named as the Conference USA Most Valuable Player and won the Sammy Baugh Trophy.[25][26]

2010 season

Keenum was in a position to challenge more than one major NCAA division passing record at the start of the 2010 season, including career passing yards and touchdowns. However, after throwing for a total of 636 passing yards and three touchdowns in three games, Keenum tore his ACL during the Cougars' third game of the season against UCLA.[27] The injury ended Keenum's season, and Houston finished 5–7.[28][29] Keenum earned his bachelor's degree in business administration from the University of Houston Bauer College of Business in December 2010.[5]

2011 season

On January 14, 2011, the NCAA granted Keenum a sixth year of eligibility.[30] Prior to the 2011 season, he was named the 2011 Conference USA Preseason Offensive Player of the Year for the third year in a row. On October 27, 2011, Keenum set the all-time NCAA Division I passing touchdowns record by throwing for nine touchdowns against Rice.[31][32] Keenum also enrolled in the University of Houston College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences studying for a master's degree in sports and fitness administration.[5]

Keenum surpassed Timmy Chang's record for most career passing yards in NCAA history on November 5, 2011.[33] Two weeks later on November 19, 2011, Keenum set the record for career completions in a 37–7 win over SMU.[34] The Cougars had a record of 12–0 coming into the Conference USA Championship,[35] but were defeated by Southern Miss 49–28. Keenum completed 41 of 67 pass attempts for 373 yards through the air, two touchdown passes, and two interceptions.[36] After the loss, Houston played Penn State in the TicketCity Bowl, where they won 30–14. Keenum passed for 532 yards, and threw three touchdown passes.[37] In the 2011 season, he finished in 7th place in the Heisman Trophy voting.[38] For the second time, he was named as the Conference USA Most Valuable Player and won the Sammy Baugh Trophy.[25][39]

Houston Texans

2012 season: Rookie year

Despite his success in college, Keenum went undrafted and signed with the Houston Texans and was placed on their practice squad for his entire rookie season.[45][46]

2013 season

In 2013, Keenum was placed on the Texans' 53-man roster as a third-string quarterback behind starter Matt Schaub and backup quarterback T. J. Yates.[47] On October 17, head coach Gary Kubiak announced that Keenum would be the starting quarterback over backup Yates for the Week 7 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, after starting quarterback Schaub was unable to play due to an injury.[48] In his professional debut on October 20, Keenum threw his first NFL touchdown, a 29-yarder to DeAndre Hopkins.

Personal life

Born in Brownwood, Texas,[116] Keenum spent his childhood in Alpine, Texas for a few years until moving to Abilene, Texas. His dad, Steve, served as an offensive lineman and later as head football coach and athletic director at McMurry University. The elder Keenum, known for an aggressive passing offensive strategy, was also head coach at Sul Ross State, offensive coordinator at Tarleton State, and offensive line coach at Hardin–Simmons.[117]

Keenum and his wife, Kimberly, have a son named Kyler.[118]

In 2018, Keenum authored the book Playing for More with Andrew Perloff.

Keenum is a Christian, saying after the Vikings' "Minneapolis Miracle", which led to a Vikings' win, that the best moment of his life was giving his life to Jesus Christ.[119]

In July 2020, Keenum became part-owner of Haak Winery in Santa Fe, TX.[120] He is also a supporter of Compassion International and their “Fill the Stadium” initiative.[121]
