Professional Career
In the 2015 NFLHC Draft, the Ravens selected Armour in the 5th round.
The day after the draft, Armour signed a two-year contract with the Ravens worth approximately $5 million.
Baltimore Ravens
In limited opportunity with the Ravens, Armour struggled mightily. Coach rabidsnowman seemed to lose faith in Armour and returned to starting Reggie Watkins. Armour showed visible frustration with his playing situation and was regularly in conflict with Coach rabidsnowman. Following the coach's departure though, Armour never regained favor with new head coach Rome. Ultimately, Armour wasn't protected for the 2017 NFLHC Expansion Draft. The Arizona Cardinals selected him in the second round of the expansion draft.
Arizona Cardinals
Cardinals head coach Tammath identified Armour as a possible target to run his offense for the 2017 season. The Cardinals appeared to want a veteran presence at the quarterback position either to serve as a stopgap option or to help groom a rookie quarterback. Once they drafted Jarius Jones, it became clear that he would be the backup to the young first rounder.
