Biography

Tim Hasselbeck was raised in Norfolk, Massachusetts. He played football for Xaverian Brothers High School in Westwood, Massachusetts and for the Boston College Eagles.

Professional career

He was originally signed by the Buffalo Bills as an undrafted free agent in 2001.

Hasselbeck was signed to the Philadelphia Eagles practice squad in 2002 as a free agent.

In 2003 he was signed by the Washington Redskins, where he spent two seasons as a backup quarterback. He was thrust into starting action in 2003 when then starter Patrick Ramsey was injured. The high point of his career to date came on December 7, 2003, when he completed 13 of 19 passes for 154 yards in leading the Redskins to a 20-7 win over the New York Giants. He threw two touchdown passes and no interceptions in that game. The following week he had the ignominy of recording the lowest possible single-game passer rating (0.0) in a 27-0 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Hasselbeck was 6-for-26 (23%) for 57 yards with four interceptions in that game.

In May 2005, the New York Giants signed Hasselbeck to be their backup for QB Eli Manning. While regarded as strong-armed and athletic, Hasselbeck has a mediocre 63.7 career passer rating, but he has not thrown a pass in an NFL regular season contest since the 2003 season. His only game action with the Giants consisted of two kneeldowns (when to protect a lead in the closing seconds of a game, the quarterback takes the snap and simply kneels onto the ground instead of running a play and risking a turnover). The NFL counts this statistically as a rushing attempt, and since the kneels typically take place a yard or two behind the line of scrimmage, he is actually credited with -3 rushing yards. On September 1, 2007, he was released by the Giants.
