re: Dan Kendra - FSU QB, where are they now?

After a jury found McPherson not guilty, he tried to enroll at Tennessee State but when it became clear the NCAA would not allow him to play collegiate sports, he chose to turn pro and sign with the Indiana Firebirds of the Arena Football League, where he threw 61 touchdowns and only 5 interceptions, and ran for 19 touchdowns. Because of his exceptional play, he was named the 2004 AFL Rookie of the Year. He could have opted for the 2004 NFL Draft or a Supplemental Draft but chose to pay his dues in the AFL and prove to the NFL that he had matured.
New Orleans Saints[edit]
Later that spring McPherson was selected by the New Orleans Saints in the fifth round of the 2005 NFL Draft.
On August 12, 2006, McPherson was hit by a golf cart driven by the Tennessee Titans mascot during half-time. On December 8, 2006, he sued the Titans because of the accident that occurred during the pre-season game at LP Field. The suit sought $15 million in punitive damages and $5 million in compensatory damages.
Utah Blaze[edit]
Before McPherson signed with the Saints following the 2005 NFL Draft, he was acquired by the Utah Blaze of the AFL in their 2005 expansion draft. The move was widely considered to be a gamble, considering what his unknown status before the NFL's 2005 Draft. Following the draft, McPherson was placed on the "other-league exempt list" until further notice.
Austin Wranglers[edit]
Finally on November 9, 2006, McPherson was activated to the league and a week later traded to the Austin Wranglers in exchange for future considerations.
Grand Rapids Rampage[edit]
McPherson was signed by the Grand Rapids Rampage in 2007 as a back-up quarterback for Chad Salsbury. That season for the Rampage, he completed 76 of 129 passes for 819 yards and nine touchdowns with four interceptions.
In 2008, McPherson went 27-for-50 for 368 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions. He was released by the team in April.
Montreal Alouettes[edit]
In May 2008, McPherson was signed by the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League. He debuted with the Alouettes in a CFL pre-season game, on June 12, 2008, against the Toronto Argonauts. He completed four of eight passes for 105 yards, and one touchdown pass. The Alouettes and Argonauts played to a 34-34 tie in Montreal. McPherson spent five seasons as the back up to franchise quarterback Anthony Calvillo, winning the Grey Cup in 2009 and 2010. Two weeks before entering free agency, McPherson was released on February 1, 2013 so that he could pursue offers from other teams.[1]
Tampa Bay Storm[edit]
On Feb. 19, 2013, McPherson signed with the Tampa Bay Storm.[2] On May 10, 2013, McPherson broke the AFL record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback.[3] McPherson's season ended with a right leg injury.[4]
