Playing for the Generals, one of the eight teams in the expanded minor league, the 2011 third-round pick of the Patriots completed 20 of 31 passes for 252 yards in a 21-19 win over the Jousters. Mallett, who played for the Texans and Ravens after three years in New England, also threw a touchdown pass last in the first half of the game.
Lirim Hajrullahu made five of five field goals for the Generals, including a Spring League-record 59-yarder.
