Eric Dungey led Syracuse to its first 10-win season since 2001 last year.

Former Syracuse quarterback Eric Dungey signed with the Cleveland Browns to be on their practice squad, the Browns announced on Twitter on Friday morning.



Dungey originally signed with the New York Giants after going undrafted in the 2019 NFL Draft. He was waived on July 24, 2019.

Since, Dungey hasn’t had any movement in his football career, returning to Syracuse this fall to complete his degree, among other things, according to a report from Syracuse.com. Dungey joins a Browns quarterback room with Heisman winner Baker Mayfield, long-time backup Drew Stanton and Garrett Gilbert, who was originally picked by the then-St. Louis Rams in 2014.

In his time at Syracuse, Dungey set countless records, including becoming SU’s all-time leading passer while leading the Orange to it’s seventh-ever 10-win season in 2018.
