Don’t be surprised if you hear Trace McSorley’s name coming up a lot the next few years when NFL coaching staffs begin to turn over — he’s making a move from player to coach in a big way.
McSorley, who played quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens for 3 seasons from 2019 to 2021, has been hired as an assistant coach on one of his old team’s most hated rivals.
“TheBills are expected to hire former NFL QB Trace McSorley as an offensive assistant on Joe Brady’s staff,” The 33rd Team’s Ari Meirov wrote on his official X account on Thursday. “McSorley has spent the last couple of years at Penn State, beginning his coaching career.”
McSorley, 30 years old, was a 6th round pick (No. 197 overall) by the Ravens out of Penn State in the 2019 NFL draft. He played 6 seasons for 6 different teams, last playing for the Washington Commanders in 2024 and was the assistant quarterbacks coach for Penn State in 2025.
“It’s beginning to seem like more of the norm that guys like McSorley who are career 2nd and 3rd stringers are retiring early to take on coaching roles,” Golfman ATM wrote on their official X account. “It seems like they are great fits and instant knowledge to these teams due to recent experience in the game,”
