Joseph Webb III[1] (born November 14, 1986) is an American former professional football quarterback.

After playing college football for the UAB Blazers, Webb was selected by the Minnesota Vikings in the sixth round of the 2010 NFL draft as a quarterback.

[2] He transferred to Wenonah High School in 2004, where he was named honorable mention Class 5A All-State by the Alabama Sports Writers Association.

[3] While attending Wenonah, he led the team to the first round of state playoffs, eventually finishing third in the region.

[11] As a junior, Webb became the first player in NCAA history to pass for more than 2,000 yards and rush for 1,000 in consecutive seasons.

[12] Webb was ranked in the top 12 nationally of three statistical categories: total offense (5th), rushing (10th) and passing efficiency (12th).

[16] On April 24, 2010, Webb was selected by the Minnesota Vikings, 199th overall in the sixth round of the 2010 NFL draft.

[18] He was originally drafted as a quarterback/wide receiver prospect, but then head coach Brad Childress announced that Webb would exclusively play quarterback for the Vikings.

[25][26] In the regular season finale against the Detroit Lions, he finished with 145 passing yards and an interception in the 20–13 loss.

[27] During the 2011 season, Webb was used occasionally as part of a "blazer package" specially designed for his unique skillset.

[28] In the Vikings' week 14 game against the Detroit Lions, starting quarterback Christian Ponder was benched early in the third quarter after throwing three interceptions and fumbling once.

Webb entered the game with a 31–14 deficit, and proceeded to bring the team back and nearly achieve a victory, throwing his first professional touchdown pass and rushing for 109 yards including a 65-yard touchdown run (a franchise record for quarterbacks, and the longest run of his career).

[20] Webb's efforts ultimately led to a 1st and goal situation at the one-yard line with nine seconds in the game and a score of 34–28.

On January 5, 2013, Webb was named the starting quarterback for the Vikings' Wild Card Round game against the Green Bay Packers after Christian Ponder was sidelined with an elbow injury.

[33][34] With the signing of Matt Cassel on March 14, Vikings coach Leslie Frazier mentioned that Webb may be given consideration to play other positions besides quarterback.

[35] Frazier showed interest in having Webb play quarterback again when Josh Freeman and Christian Ponder were injured.

[61] Joe Webb made his professional boxing debut at Bartow Arena on Saturday, August 5, 2023.
