After having played college football for the UAB Blazers, Webb was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the sixth round of the 2010 NFL Draft as a quarterback.
Born to Joseph and Wanda Webb, Webb attended Ensley High School from 2001-2004.

Webb also played basketball and baseball and was a member of the National Honor Society.
Webb enrolled at UAB in 2005 and was redshirted for the 2005 season.
In 2006, he did not get an opportunity to play until the 11th game at Southern Miss, but he was able to start the final two games of the season. During the season finale at University of Central Florida, he connected on 33 of 51 passes (64.7 percent) for 426 yards with one touchdown pass, a season high for any Blazer quarterback that year.
