CLEVELAND – The Cleveland Browns signed former Syracuse quarterback Eric Dungey to their practice squad on Friday. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. To make room on the roster for Dungey, the Browns placed wide receiver Derrick Willies on their practice squad/injured list.
Â
Originally signed by the New York Giants as an undrafted free agent in May, Dungey was released by the Giants in July. He worked out for the Browns in September.
Â
A native of Lake Oswego, Oregon, Dungey finished his career as Syracuse's all-time leading passer and set or tied 24 school records in 39 games (38 starts) for the Orange from 2015-18. He completed 786-of-1,279 (.615) passes for 9,340 yards with 58 touchdowns in his career and rushed for 1,993 yards and 35 touchdowns on 543 carries (3.7 avg.).
Â
In addition to holding the all-time mark for passing yardage (9,340), Dungey established the Syracuse standards for passing yards per game (239.5), 300-yard passing games (12), total offense (11,333 yards), total offense yards per game (290.6), most plays (1,822) and most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback. He is one of five quarterbacks in ACC history to amass 11,000+ yards of total offense and 90+ touchdowns responsible for (93). The other members of that elite fraternity are Philip Rivers (NC State), Lamar Jackson (Louisville), Tajh Boyd (Clemson) and Deshaun Watson (Clemson).
Â
The 2018 ECAC Offensive Player of the Year and an All-ACC Third Team selection, Dungey completed 226-of-371 (.609) passes for 2,868 yards with 18 touchdowns and rushed for 754 yards and 15 scores as a senior.

The Browns are 2-3 overall. They host Seattle this Sunday.
