College career
In 2015, Stidham became Seth Russell's backup in Baylor's true freshman year. He appeared in the first seven games, scoring 24 of 28 passes for 331 yards and six touchdowns. Stidham took over as the starter after Russell sustained a season-ending neck injury during Baylor's seventh game. He appeared in his first game against Kansas State in his career. He finished the game with 23 of 33 passes for 419 yards, three passing touchdowns, and a rushing touchdown. Stidham sustained his back in the first quarter in his second appearance against Oklahoma, but he was able to stay in the game. In the 44–34 loss, he finished the game with 16 of 27 for 257 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions.
Despite being unsure about playing leading up to the game, Stidham made his third appearance against Oklahoma State this week. In the first half of the game, he suffered his hand and ankle and did not return to the field for the second half. Art Briles, the head coach of Baylor, revealed that Stidham's ankle fracture was a chipped bone in the back of his ankle, and that Stidham will be out for the remainder of the season. According to reports, Stidham might be able to return to Baylor's bowl game, but Briles revealed on December 19, Stidham will not be able to attend the 2015 Russell Athletic Bowl.
On July 7, 2016, Stidham revealed he would be moving from Baylor as a result of a sexual harassment investigation at the college and the dismissal of a significant number of the coaching staff, as well as dissatisfaction with up-quarter Seth Russell's support.
Stidham revealed that he will be heading to Auburn University after spending a semester at McLennan Community College, where he did not play football. On December 10, 2016, he made the announcement on Twitter. Stidham was named as Auburn's starting quarterback for the 2017 season on August 14. After victories over top-ranked Georgia and Alabama, Stidham led the Tigers to an SEC West Division Championship. In the Peach Bowl, he will eventually miss to UCF. Stidham revealed on December 4, 2018 that he will forego his last year of eligibility and opt for the 2019 NFL Draft.
Professional career
In the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots selected Stidham as the 133rd overall pick. He has signed a four-year contract worth $3.15 million, plus a signing bonus of around $634,000.
Stidham was named as the second-string back to quarterback Tom Brady at the start of the Patriots' 2019 training camp. Stidham wore the number 4 as his jersey number, making him the first Patriots player since placekicker Adam Vinatieri in 2005 to wear the number. He was also the first Patriots quarterback to use number 4 as a quarterback.
In Week 3 against the New York Jets, Stidham relieved Brady in the fourth quarter, but the Patriots held a 30-7 lead. He completed two out of three passes before throwing an intercept pass to safety Jamal Adams, who was accounted for a touchdown. Brady returned to finish the game, which the Patriots defeated 30-21-191.
Stidham was seen as his potential replacement for the 2020 season after Brady left the Patriots in March 2020. Despite this, the Patriots cut former MVP Cam Newton in July, making him the frontrunner to replace Brady. Newton was named as the season's starting quarterback on September 3, while Stidham took the third-string back behind Newton and second-string backup Brian Hoyer on September 3.
When Newton tested positive for COVID-19 in Week 4, he became the second option behind Hoyer against the Kansas City Chiefs. Following Hoyer's ineffective showing in the third quarter, Stidham was brought on to complete the game. As the Patriots lost 26–10, he gave his first touchdown pass to N'Keal Harry, but he was intercepted twice, including one that was returned for a touchdown by safety Tyrann Mathieu. Stidham was then moved to the second option ahead of Hoyer.
Though Newton was the team's starter for the remainder of the season, Stidham appeared in Week 7 against the San Francisco 49ers and Week 14 against the Los Angeles Rams. The Week 13 game featured a 45-0 shutout for the Chargers, while the Stidham Stidham faced a struggling Newton in the former with a 33–6 loss and a 24–3 loss. Despite Stidham's return to Newton in the blowout losses, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said after both games that Newton will keep his starting position. After an ineffective game by Newton against the Buffalo Bills, Stidham's last relief appearance came in Week 16. Stidham also suffered during the eventual 38–9 loss, which took place in the third quarter. He finished four of 11 passes for 44 yards and converted three first downs, one of which resulted from a penalty.
Stidham's reserve list is also unable to function after off-season back surgery. On November 9, he was activated by Cleveland Browns ahead of their Week 10 match against the Cleveland Browns on Week 10. Stidham was named the third-string quarterback behind rookie Mac Jones and Brian Hoyer, but he was never on the field for the entire year.
Stidham and a seventh-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft were traded to the Las Vegas Rats on May 13, 2022, 2022. Josh McDaniels, the Patriots' offensive coordinator during his three seasons with the Patriots, reunited Stidham with the team. On August 30, he was the second backup quarterback to start quarterback Derek Carr, and he was the only backup quarterback on the initial 53-man roster.
