Joseph was born in Audubon, New Jersey in 1985. He attended Audubon high school and was the starting quarterback. Upon graduation he was listed as Number 39 among prospect quarterbacks in the class of 2003. He went on to University of Pittsburgh after receiving a full tuition scholarship. Despite the school’s outstanding academics they had a fairly weak football program.  Even worse Flacco had limited playing time behind starter Tyler Palko who eventually became a bench warmer for New Orleans Saints.

Flacco transferred to University of Delaware as a Junior. He became the school’s starting quarterback but his leadership skills were lacking. Flacco has always been quiet and mild which led critics to criticize his lack of communication and motivation to teammates. It was a rocky start as Delaware failed to make it to qualify for the FCS playoffs.  His following year as a senior he hushed the critics by setting 20 school records. He threw for 4,263 yards, 23 touchdowns and five interceptions. He led the Blue Hens to an 11-4 record and he averaged 104.2 passes per interception!  In early September 2009, a 20- by 30-foot poster of Flacco was added to the facade of Delaware Stadium.
