After spending all of his time at USC as a backup behind Heisman Trophy winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart, Cassel was a surprise pick in the NFL Draft. The Patriots selected him in the seventh round of the 2005 NFL Draft with the 230th choice overall, even though far more noted quarterbacks like Timmy Chang, and Jason White were available at the time. He is currently third on the depth chart behind Tom Brady and Doug Flutie.
