[edit] Early years
Detmer played at Mission High School. He led the Eagles to the 5A playoffs in 1990 and 1991. The 1990 team lost in the semifinals against eventual state champion Aldine Mustangs (54-21). With Detmer at quarterback, Mission High established a state record with 4,829 passing yards for a season in 1990.
[edit] College career
At Colorado, Detmer threw for 5390 yards, second-most in school history.[1]
[edit] Professional career
Up until his release in August 2006, Detmer had played his entire career in Philadelphia. He spent most of his career as a backup to quarterback Donovan McNabb and as the place-kick holder for David Akers. His action as a starter was limited to five games in the 1998 season, one game in the 2002 season (in which he was injured and had to leave the game after throwing two touchdowns and rushing for another), and the 2004 season finale against Cincinnati which the Eagles lost.
Detmer was released after the Eagles signed former Eagle A. J. Feeley as their backup and moved punter Dirk Johnson into the role of kick holder. He was re-signed on January 2, 2007 by the Eagles to provide a third quarterback for the team's playoff push. He was also re-signed to be the kick holder for the Eagles.
Detmer had his NFL career extended for a few days by signing with the Minnesota Vikings on November 6, 2007. The Vikings needed a second quarterback behind Brooks Bollinger while Tarvaris Jackson and Kelly Holcomb recovered from injuries. Detmer was reunited with Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress who previously was with the Eagles as the Offensive Coordinator. Detmer's stint with the Vikings was his first professional experience not in an Eagle uniform.[2] The Vikings released Detmer on November 10, 2007, apparently because Holcomb had recovered sufficiently to play.[3]
In 103 NFL games, Detmer has a career passer rating of 61.2 with ten career touchdowns and 14 interceptions thrown.[4]
Detmer is currently a coach on the Somerset High School (Somerset, Texas) staff under his father, Head Coach Sonny Detmer.
