I wonder how many others have done this? Brandon Weeden and Chris Weinke come to mind. Wasn't the Rams backup QB like 25 years old when he entered the draft?

LSU had a punter do it a few years ago, Zach Von Rosenberg. Same situation, was going to play baseball at LSU but ended up being drafted by the Pirates in the sixth round of the 2009 MLB Draft.
He pitched for 6 seasons in the minor leagues but then retired due to injuries.
He ended up walking on at LSU in 2016; originally tried out as a quarterback and tight end but eventually became a punter. Won a natty in 2019 at like 30 years old.
He was signed by the Vikings but didn't make the team.
