Jay Schroeder

Jay Schroeder intrigues me because of where he started. Before the NFL, he was a baseball player, and that two-sport background is catnip to me. At 193 cm, he had the physical tools of a prototype quarterback, and after starring for the UCLA Bruins he was drafted in the third round by Washington in 1984. I always wonder how the timing and arm strength of a ballplayer translate to reading a defense and threading throws downfield. Athletes who succeed at the elite level in one sport after grinding in another carry a competitive curiosity I find irresistible. Schroeder's pivot is the kind of story that rewards a second look.
