At the end of last season, Webb was reportedly offered the position of quarterbacks coach for the Bills and given the opportunity to follow in Kellen Moore’s footsteps by going straight from backup quarterback to assistant coach with the same franchise. . However, Webb chose to spend another season as a player, and it was a decision he wouldn’t regret as Webb received his first career start in Week 18 against the Philadelphia Eagles. He completed 23 of 40 passes for 168 yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for another touchdown in the 22-16 loss.
Webb closing the book on his playing career after making his first NFL start would be pretty poetic.
