Andrew Walter is the primary backup quarterback for the Oakland Raiders. After playing his NCAA football for the Arizona State Sun Devils, he was chosen by the Raiders as the 69th pick overall in the third round of the 2005 NFL Draft.

While at Arizona, he set the record for most Pac-10 career touchdowns, tossing 85. That record, which was established in 2004, was broken in 2005 by USC’s Matt Leinart’s 99. His career passing yards totaled 10,617. He was a two-time All-Pac 10 selection.

In 2005, Walter served as the club's third-string quarterback. He saw NFL action for the first time in 2006. That season, he played in 12 games, connecting on 53.3-percent of his passes, throwing three touchdowns and 13 interceptions. HE fumbled seven times, losing three. His rating was 55.8. The following season, he played in one game.

At six-foot-six and 230 pounds, Walter is the prototypical size for a NFL quarterback. He struggled in 2006, making poor decisions, being unable to read coverage and having trouble getting the ball out of his hand quickly. A poor offensive line did not help him. He has to work on basics, such as getting set in the pocket quickly, reading defensive schemes and checking off safeties. His arm strength, lack of mobility and accuracy are problematic.
