### Baltimore Ravens (first stint)
#### 2020 season

Huntley signed with the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent on April 30, 2020. He was waived on September 5, 2020, and signed to the team's practice squad the next day. Following injuries/COVID-19 issues from the Ravens' three other quarterbacks, he was elevated to the active roster on December 2, December 19, December 26, and January 2, 2021, for the team's week 12, 15, 16, and 17 games against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Jacksonville Jaguars, New York Giants, and Cincinnati Bengals, and reverted to the practice squad after each game. He made his NFL debut in the fourth quarter against the Jaguars in week 15, when Huntley stepped in for starter Lamar Jackson and went 2 of 4 for seven yards, along with four rushes for 18 rushing yards (which included two kneel downs) as the Ravens won 40–14. Against the Bengals, as the game quickly became a Ravens blowout, he entered the game late in the third quarter. He completed one pass attempt for eight yards while rushing six times for five yards as the Ravens won 38–3. He was elevated again on January 9 and 15 for the team's wild card and divisional playoff games against the Tennessee Titans and Buffalo Bills, and reverted to the practice squad again following each game. Huntley played the entire fourth quarter of the Bills game after Jackson was knocked out with a concussion, going 6 of 13 with 60 passing yards, along with three rushes for 32 yards, as the Ravens lost 3–17.

#### 2021 season

On January 18, 2021, Huntley signed a reserve/futures contract with the Ravens. Huntley had three rushing attempts for ten yards in the Ravens' blowout win over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6, and came in to relieve Lamar Jackson during the Ravens’ blowout loss to the Bengals in Week 7, finishing the game with 39 yards passing, going 5 for 11. Huntley got his first NFL start on November 21, 2021, when Jackson was not able to play due to a non-Covid illness against the Chicago Bears. Huntley threw for 219 yards, an interception, rushed for 40 yards, and led the team on a last-minute game-winning touchdown drive in the 4th quarter in the 16–13 win. In Week 14 against the Browns, following Jackson's injury late in the first quarter, Huntley came into the game, completed 27 of 38 passes for 270 yards and a touchdown, and almost led the Ravens to a comeback win, narrowly losing 22–24. The injury also prevented Jackson from playing the next week, and Huntley started his second career game in Week 15 against the Green Bay Packers, playing well, completing 28 of 40, for 215 yards, and two touchdowns, while rushing for another 73 yards and two touchdowns. The Ravens, however, lost this game 30–31, following a last-minute failed two-point conversion.
On December 24, 2021, it was reported that Huntley was expected to start again due to Jackson's injured ankle. On Christmas Day, Huntley was put on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, rendering him unable to start against the Bengals. On December 30, 2021, Huntley was activated and named the starter for the Ravens against the Los Angeles Rams and the Steelers in Weeks 17 and 18 respectively. Both games ended in losses with the Ravens being eliminated from playoff contention after the second loss.

#### 2022 season

The Ravens placed an exclusive-rights free agent tender on Huntley on March 9, 2022. Huntley saw his first action of the season in Week 12, playing one snap in the 27–28 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was forced in the next week in the first quarter against the Denver Broncos after Lamar Jackson was forced out with a knee injury, which would ultimately cause him to miss the rest of the season. In a low-scoring affair, Huntley led a game-winning drive in the final three minutes that he capped off with a two-yard touchdown run for the 10–9 win. He finished that game going 27 for 32 passing for 187 yards and an interception to go along with the 10 carries for 41 yards and the aforementioned touchdown. He started in Week 14 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but was knocked out of the game in the third quarter with a concussion and replaced by Anthony Brown, although the Ravens would still win 16–14. Huntley went 8 for 12 passing for 88 yards and rushed 9 times for 31 yards as well. Huntley returned in time for the next week, but had a poor performance in a 3–13 loss to the Browns. He also suffered in an injury in his right shoulder. In Week 16 against the Atlanta Falcons, Huntley completed 9 of 17 passes for 115 passing yards and a touchdown as the Ravens clinched a playoff berth with a 17–9 win. After a 13–16 loss to the Steelers in Week 17, Huntley would be rested for Week 18 against the Cincinnati Bengals with Brown starting instead in a 16–27 loss. He was named the starter for the team's Wild Card playoff game against the Bengals, completing 17 of 29 passes for 226 yards, two touchdowns, an interception and a fumble returned for a touchdown in a 24–17 loss.
On January 31, 2023, Huntley was named to the 2023 Pro Bowl as an injury replacement for Bills quarterback Josh Allen. His selection was met with considerable shock and questions as to its worthiness, owing to his comparatively poor regular-season statistics, as well as a small sample size of just four games as a starter.

#### 2023 season

On March 15, 2023, the Ravens placed a tender on Huntley that will allow them to match another team's contract offer as they continue negotiations on a new contract. He officially signed the tender, which was worth $2.627 million, on April 24.
Huntley made appearances in five games during the regular season, the first four of which came in relief of Jackson in blowout wins. With the Ravens clinching the #1 seed in Week 17, Huntley was declared the starter for the season's final game against the Steelers. He threw for 146 yards and a touchdown while rushing for an additional 40 yards in a 17–10 loss.

### Cleveland Browns

On March 20, 2024, Huntley signed with the Cleveland Browns. On August 29, Huntley was released after making the 53-man roster due to a lack of trade interest.

### Baltimore Ravens (second stint)

On August 30, Huntley was signed to the Ravens’ practice squad to fill the third-string quarterback role.

### Miami Dolphins

On September 16, 2024, Huntley was signed off the Baltimore Ravens' practice squad as the new backup quarterback for the Miami Dolphins, who were looking to strengthen the position, after starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was sidelined due to concussion protocol. He began with the Dolphins as the third-string quarterback, behind Skylar Thompson and Tim Boyle. Following an injury to Thompson, Huntley was named the starter for the Dolphins' Week 4 game against the Tennessee Titans, with Boyle serving as his backup. Huntley started the Week 17 game against the Cleveland Browns in place of Tagovailoa, who was injured. He led the team to a 20–3 win with 225 passing yards and one passing touchdown to go with seven carries for 52 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown.
