2024: Blue Bombers

Streveler signed a one-year deal to return to the Blue Bombers on January 31, 2024 after a brief workout with the Chicago Bears earlier in the month.

2020-23: New York Jets/Arizona Cardinals

The Blue Bombers officially released Streveler on February 3, 2020 so he could sign in the NFL and he joined the Cardinals a day later. He made his NFL debut on September 13, 2020 in a win over San Francisco and replaced an injured Kyler Murray in a Week 17 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, throwing for one touchdown and one interception. He dressed for five games in his rookie season and two more in 2021 before being released by the Cardinals and then added to the Baltimore Ravens practice roster.

He signed with the Miami Dolphins in February of 2022 and then joined the Jets on July 26th. Streveler then authored what head coach Robert Saleh called one of the greatest preseason performances in history, only to be released by the club and added to the practice roster at the end of August. He appeared in two regular season games with the Jets and completed 10 of 15 passes for 90 yards while rushing nine times for 54 yards.

Streveler injured the thumb on his throwing hand in the 2023 Hall of Fame Game during the preseason in 2023 and was released on August 16th.

2019: Blue Bombers

Streveler’s 2019 season helped make him a legend in Winnipeg, especially during the team’s championship run. During the regular season he again stepped in for an injured Matt Nichols and helped guide the club to a 3-5 record in those starts. He threw for 1,564 yards during the regular season with eight touchdowns against 14 interceptions and his 726 yards rushing that year also established a club record by a quarterback, eclipsing Ken Ploen’s mark of 541, set in 1960.

Streveler’s efforts in the playoffs were legendary. Working behind new starter Zach Collaros and playing with an ankle fracture, he rushed 13 times for 82 yards and a touchdown in the West Semi-final win over the Calgary Stampeders, rushed for 10 yards in the West Final victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders and then in the Grey Cup threw a TD pass to Andrew Harris, rushed for 30 yards and caught a pass from Darvin Adams in the decision over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats to help the team end the longest championship drought in franchise history, dating back to 1990.

Streveler started 12 games in 2018 and 2019 with the Blue Bombers, going 4-8 in those games. He threw for 2,698 yards with 19 touchdowns and 19 interceptions during his days with the club, and rushed for 1,167 yards and 22 touchdowns.

2018: Blue Bombers

Streveler signed with the Bombers on May 4th, 2018 and, by the end of the season, had become a household name in Winnipeg. He began as a project quarterback, but after the retirement of Darian Durant and an injury to Matt Nichols near the end of training camp was the club’s starter for opening night. In doing so, he became just the 12th straight-from-college quarterback to start Week 1 for a CFL team since 1959 and the first since Anthony Calvillo with the Las Vegas Posse in 1994. He was also the first fresh-from-college QB to start an opener for the Bombers since John Schneider in 1968.
The Bombers went 1-2 under Streveler in his first three starts as a pro, and as the season progressed his role in the offence remained prominent even with the return of Nichols. Streveler completed 61.4 per cent of his passes for 11 touchdowns against five interceptions, while rushing for an additional 441 yards — second on the team to Andrew Harris — and another 10 touchdowns. Those numbers made him the first Bombers QB since Matt Dunigan in 1993 to hit double-digit TD totals through the air and along the ground.

College

Streveler began his college career at the University of Minnesota, playing both quarterback and receiver before transferring to the University of South Dakota. His two seasons with the Coyotes were spectacular, as he threw for 6,081 yards and 54 touchdowns. In 2017, Streveler was named MVFC Offensive Player of the Year and was a finalist for the Walter Payton Award.
