Hoying was drafted in the third round of the 1996 NFL draft by the Philadelphia Eagles.[2] Hoying played well in two games in 1997 after taking over the starting role at midseason and throwing 11 touchdown passes. He won a memorable 44–42 shootout win over Boomer Esiason and the Cincinnati Bengals after throwing four touchdown passes.
The following year however, would be a complete disaster for Hoying as he was benched midseason after not winning a single game as a starter. He did not throw a touchdown pass and threw nine interceptions. The 3–13 season led to the firing of Eagles head coach Ray Rhodes and ultimately the hiring of Andy Reid. Reid drafted Donovan McNabb out of Syracuse University and Hoying was traded to the Oakland Raiders in August 1999, rejoining coach Jon Gruden who had been the offensive coordinator for the Eagles under Rhodes.[3] Hoying served as a backup to Rich Gannon in his first season with Oakland. In 2000 Hoying would play in the AFC Championship game against the Baltimore Ravens standing in for the injured Gannon, but his team lost the game 3–16. Hoying retired after the 2001 season following a severe elbow injury. He holds the NFL record for most pass completions in a season without a touchdown.[4]
Since leaving professional football Hoying has become a principal at Crawford Hoying, a full-service real estate company based in Columbus, Ohio.[5]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
