'''Casey J. Printers''' (born May 16, 1981) is an American former professional [[gridiron football|football]] [[quarterback]] who played in the [[Canadian Football League]] (CFL) with the [[BC Lions]] and [[Hamilton Tiger-Cats]]. He played [[college football]] at [[Texas Christian University|TCU]] and [[Florida A&M University|Florida A&M]].

== Early life ==
Born in [[DeSoto, Texas]], Printers played football from a young age, a highlight being a trip to the [[Pop Warner Little Scholars|Pop Warner]] National Championship in [[San Francisco, California]] with his team, the [[Oak Cliff]] Jets, when he was twelve years old.<ref name="Casey-printers.com bio">{{Cite web|url=http://www.casey-printers.com/bio.htm|title=Casey Printers bio|access-date=2006-12-03|publisher=Casey-printers.com|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061201201622/http://www.casey-printers.com/bio.htm|archive-date=2006-12-01}}</ref>

== College career ==
Printers played [[college football|collegiately]] at [[Texas Christian University]] from 1999 to 2001, leading the TCU Horned Frogs to back-to-back [[Western Athletic Conference]] championships in 1999 and 2000 and three straight bowl games, including back-to-back appearances in the Mobile Alabama Bowl in [[1999 Mobile Alabama Bowl|1999]] and [[2000 Mobile Alabama Bowl|2000]]. Printers was named Most Valuable Player in the Frogs' 1999 bowl victory and was subsequently named Freshman of the Year for 1999 by the ''[[Dallas Morning News]]'' and third-team Freshman All-American by ''[[The Sporting News]]''.<ref name="Casey-printers.com bio"/> In 2000, he received honorable mention as an All-WAC Conference Selection.<ref name="TCU Football History">{{Cite web|url=http://graphics.fansonly.com/photos/schools/tcu/sports/m-footbl/auto_pdf/m-footbl-history.pdf|access-date=2006-12-03|publisher=Texas Christian University Football|year=2006|title=TCU Football History|work=TCU Football Media Guide|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930055309/http://graphics.fansonly.com/photos/schools/tcu/sports/m-footbl/auto_pdf/m-footbl-history.pdf|archive-date=2007-09-30|url-status=dead}}</ref> The 1999 and 2000 Horned Frogs, coached by [[Dennis Franchione]], also featured [[Heisman Trophy]] candidate and future NFL star [[LaDainian Tomlinson]] at running back. In 2001, Printers led the Horned Frogs to a 6-6 record and an appearance in the [[galleryfurniture.com Bowl]], where Printers was 15-30 for 144 yards and 4 interceptions in the 28-9 loss. Printers' 4,621 passing yards and 37 touchdown passes each rank fourth in TCU history.  Branding himself the "Best Kept Secret in College Football", Printers transferred to [[Florida A&M University|Florida A&M]] for his senior year (2002), where he led the Rattlers to a 7-5 record, completing 123 of 218 passes for 1,517 yards with 12 touchdowns and 5 interceptions and rushing for 3 touchdowns.<ref name="Casey-printers.com bio"/>

== Professional career ==

=== BC Lions (first stint) ===
After going undrafted in the [[2002 NFL draft]], Printers joined the [[BC Lions]] for the [[2003 CFL season]] on a three-year contract as their third-string quarterback, and saw little playing time, attempting only two passes.<ref name="CFL.ca bio">{{cite web | url = https://www.cfl.ca/index.php?module=roster&func=display&ros_id=273 | access-date = 2006-08-04 | title = Casey Printers #1 | publisher = CFL.ca}}</ref> During the [[2004 CFL season|2004 season]], he unseated [[Spergon Wynn]] as backup quarterback and replaced starter [[Dave Dickenson]] when Dickenson went down with an injury. After completing 325 of 494 pass attempts for 5,088 [[yard]]s and 35 [[touchdown]]s with 10 [[interception]]s<ref name="CFL.ca bio"/> and rushing for 469 yards and 9 touchdowns,<ref name="CFL 2004 rush stats">{{cite web | url = https://www.cfl.ca/index.php?module=fbstats&func=rushing&year=2004 | access-date = 2006-08-04 | title = 2004 Rushing statistics | publisher = CFL.ca | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20061007035158/http://www.cfl.ca/index.php?module=fbstats&func=rushing&year=2004 | archive-date = 2006-10-07 | url-status = dead }}</ref> he was named the [[CFL's Outstanding Player Award|Most Outstanding Player]] of the 2004 season, becoming known as a dynamic quarterback able to improvise and make big plays both passing and rushing. He played a key role in the Lions' eight-game winning streak, 13-5 record, and first-place finish in the [[CFL West Division|West Division]] standings.  His 35 passing touchdowns and 10.3 yards-per-pass average led the league; he tied Edmonton's [[Jason Maas]] for a league-best 65.8 completion percentage,<ref name="CFL 2004 pass stats">{{cite web | url = https://www.cfl.ca/index.php?module=fbstats&func=passing&year=2004 | access-date = 2006-08-04 | title = 2004 Passing Statistics | publisher = CFL.ca | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20061007035147/http://www.cfl.ca/index.php?module=fbstats&func=passing&year=2004 | archive-date = 2006-10-07 | url-status = dead }}</ref> and his rushing stats were best among QBs.<ref name="CFL 2004 rush stats"/>

In the 2004 West Division Final against the [[Saskatchewan Roughriders]], Printers was forced to leave the game with a shoulder injury in the fourth quarter, with the score tied 14-14. Dickenson, having recovered from knee surgery and shared quarterbacking duties with Printers late in the season, played the rest of the game and threw a touchdown pass in the Lions' 27-25 overtime victory.<ref name="TSN 2004-11-14">{{cite web|url=https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/news_story/?ID=104655 |access-date=2006-08-04 |title=O'Mahony kicks Lions into Grey Cup |author=Canadian Press |author-link=Canadian Press |publisher=TSN.ca |date=2004-11-14 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929164455/http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/news_story/?ID=104655 |archive-date=September 29, 2007 }}</ref> Dickenson would start and play the entire 2004 [[92nd Grey Cup|Grey Cup game]] against the [[Toronto Argonauts]], which the Lions lost by a score of 27-19.

Printers had surgery on his right [[hallux]] in the 2004-2005 offseason, and turned down a three-year, $1 million contract extension from the Lions. With Printers recovering, Dickenson won the starting job and led the team to an 11-0 start. Printers took over as starter after Dickenson was injured in the 13th game. After the 11-0 start, the Lions lost six of their last seven regular season games, including the regular season finale against the Roughriders, in which Dickenson returned and replaced Printers in the second half.<ref name="Willes 2006-05-23">{{cite web | url = https://www.cfl.ca/index.php?module=newser&func=display&topicnum=&nid=8316&writer=0 | access-date = 2006-10-30 | title = BC Quarterback Controversy Put to Rest | author = Ed Willes | publisher = Vancouver Province | date = 2005-05-23}}</ref> Dickenson started and played all but the last three minutes of the 2005 West Division Final against the [[Edmonton Eskimos]], which the Lions lost 28-23.<ref name="Walker 2005-11-21">{{Cite web|url=https://www.cfl.ca/index.php?module=newser&func=display&topicnum=&nid=6781&writer=0|title=I did everything I could|access-date=2006-11-14|publisher=The Vancouver Sun|date=2005-11-21|author=Ian Walker}}</ref>

Throughout the [[2005 CFL season|2005 season]] Printers was embroiled in a quarterback controversy with Dickenson over who should start as pivot and was nagged by shoulder and toe injuries. Ultimately, Printers saw relatively little playing time, completing 131 of 216 pass attempts for 1671 yards, 9 touchdowns and 6 interceptions,<ref name="CFL.ca bio"/> with 336 yards rushing and 2 rushing TDs.<ref name="2005 rush stats">{{cite web | url = https://www.cfl.ca/index.php?module=fbstats&func=rushing&year=2005 | access-date = 2006-08-10 | title = 2005 Rushing Statistics | publisher = CFL.ca}}</ref> In January 2006, he turned down a three-year, $1.2 million ([[Canadian dollar|CAD]]) offer from the Lions, opting to sign a three-year, $1.03 million ([[United States dollar|USD]]) deal with the [[Kansas City Chiefs]].

Printers was released by the Chiefs on September 1, 2007. His conversation with Chiefs Director of Player Personnel Ray Farmer was documented on episode 5 of HBO's ''[[Hard Knocks (documentary series)|Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Kansas City Chiefs]]'' series. Printers said that his release was "unbelievable," especially since he had done everything asked of him during training camp. Printers was replaced by [[Tyler Thigpen]].

=== Hamilton Tiger-Cats ===
Printers signed with the [[Hamilton Tiger-Cats]] on September 6, 2007, for a reported $500,000 a season, making him the highest paid player in the CFL. However, he ended up struggling greatly, throwing twice as many interceptions as touchdown passes. He was released by the team on February 19, 2009.

=== BC Lions (second stint) ===
In June 2009 Printers stated that he would be willing to return to the B.C. Lions.<ref name="Casey Printers wants back with the Lions">{{cite web | url = http://www.canada.com/sports/Casey+Printers+wants+back+with+Lions/1689156/story.html | access-date = 2009-07-31 | title = Casey Printers wants back with the Lions | publisher = canada.com | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090627125448/http://www.canada.com/Sports/Casey+Printers+wants+back+with+Lions/1689156/story.html | archive-date = 2009-06-27 | url-status = dead }}</ref>

On September 21, 2009, Casey Printers agreed to terms with the Lions on a practice roster contract. He was signed from the practice roster on October 8, and suited up as the third-string quarterback on October 9, in a game versus the Edmonton Eskimos.  He then became the starting quarterback on October 24, in a 33-30 overtime loss to the [[Saskatchewan Roughriders]].<ref name="BC Lions 2004-08-24">{{cite web | url = http://bclions.com/article/lions-fall-short-to-riders-in-wild-west-showdown | access-date = 2006-08-24 | title = Lions Fall Short | date = 2004-08-24 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110707215838/http://bclions.com/article/lions-fall-short-to-riders-in-wild-west-showdown | archive-date = 2011-07-07 | url-status = dead }}</ref>

On Thanksgiving Day October 11, 2010, Printers replaced Travis Lulay at quarterback. Opponent Winnipeg Blue Bombers started rookie Alex Brink but he was replaced by Steven Jyles after an awful start. With Jyles at quarterback, the Bombers overcame a 32-14 4th quarter deficit and sent the game into overtime with the score tied at 32.

The Winnipeg fans who were booing earlier at Brink were now yelling to disrupt the Lions' play calling.  With the Lions down 41-35 in the 2nd overtime period, Printers attempted a pass to O'Neil Wilson on 2nd and long. However, it was intercepted by Deon Beasley and returned for a touchdown. Shortly after throwing the game-ending interception, Printers was seen throwing his helmet to the ground in disgust and yelling at Wilson.

He was released from the team later that week.

=== Allen Wranglers ===
On February 3, 2012, Printers signed with the [[Allen Wranglers]] of the [[Indoor Football League]].<ref>[https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=388155 Former CFL QB Printers joins T.O. in Indoor Football League]</ref> Printers made his debut with the Wranglers on February 25, 2012, against the [[Wichita Wild]] as backup to [[Bryan Randall]] and had a rushing touchdown.
