Webb joins Brandon Weeden and Taylor Heinicke as players competing to be the backup to Deshaun Watson.

Webb attempted seven passes in 2017 and completed two of them for 35 yards with one interception.
He played five games, including two starts, at quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings in 2010. He completed 60.7 percent of his passes that season, with no touchdown passes and three interceptions. He rushed for 120 yards in 2010.
Webb also spent time as a wide receiver in his four seasons with Minnesota before joining the Carolina Panthers for three seasons.
