Pittsburgh Steelers (first stint)

St. Pierre was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 5th round of the 2003 NFL draft. He spent his rookie season as the Steelers' third-string quarterback behind Tommy Maddox and Charlie Batch. In 2004, St. Pierre made his first appearance in a regular season game. He came in and ran for a key first-down conversion late in the fourth quarter on a two-yard naked bootleg in the season finale against the Buffalo Bills. He finished the game 0/1 passing and he had 5 carries (4 of which were kneel-downs) for -3 yards.

St. Pierre was allegedly one of the Pittsburgh players impersonated by a con man, Brian Jackson in 2005, along with Jerame Tuman and Ben Roethlisberger.

On September 3, 2005, he was waived by the Steelers.

Baltimore Ravens

On September 22, 2005, the Ravens signed St. Pierre to their practice squad, activating him on December 8. The Ravens released him as part of their mandatory cuts on September 2, 2006. He never appeared in a game for the Ravens.

Pittsburgh Steelers (second stint)

On September 4, 2006, St. Pierre was signed to the Steelers' practice squad. Two days later he was moved to the 53-man roster because starter Ben Roethlisberger would miss time following an appendectomy. He was cut by the Steelers on October 14 and re-signed by the team two days later. He was cut again by the Steelers on November 11 and re-signed with Pittsburgh two days later.

Arizona Cardinals

On March 27, 2008, St. Pierre signed a one-year contract with the Arizona Cardinals, where he played for former Steelers and Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt.

He was the Cardinals third quarterback for all 16 regular season games and all four postseason contests, including Super Bowl XLIII.

St. Pierre completed his first NFL pass on January 3, 2010, versus the Green Bay Packers. Two plays later, he threw his first interception to Tramon Williams. With three minutes left in the fourth quarter, St. Pierre threw his first career TD to Larry Fitzgerald. St. Pierre was released at the end of the 2009 season.

Carolina Panthers

On November 16, 2010, the Carolina Panthers moved St. Pierre to their active roster just five days after joining their practice squad on November 11. This was in light of rookie quarterback Jimmy Clausen being diagnosed with a concussion after a loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers the previous Sunday.

On November 18, 2010, the Carolina Panthers declared St. Pierre the starting QB for their November 21 game against the Baltimore Ravens, despite the fact that he had only thrown 5 passes in his NFL career. In his first and only start he completed 13 of 28 passes for 173 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. It was the final game of his career.
