Tyler Beckham Thigpen[1] (born April 14, 1984)[2][3] is an American former professional football quarterback. Thigpen was selected out of Coastal Carolina University in the seventh round of the 2007 NFL draft (217th overall) by the Minnesota Vikings.[2]
He was the first quarterback to play for the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers football team.[4] He led the Chanticleers program to a 30–8 record as their starting quarterback.[3][5] Thigpen holds the single-season and career passing records in most major statistical categories at Coastal Carolina.[6]
He saw his most extensive action as a starting quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2008.[1] Thigpen recorded 22 touchdowns (18 passing, 3 rushing, and 1 receiving) against 12 interceptions in 11 starts, though the Chiefs were 1–10 in that span.[7][8][9]
