Chad Martin Hutchinson (born February 21, 1977) is a former National Football League (NFL) quarterback and Major League Baseball (MLB) pitcher. He played for the Dallas Cowboys and the Chicago Bears of the NFL, and the St. Louis Cardinals of the MLB. He played college football at Stanford University.
Hutchinson started practicing football late in his life as a freshman in Torrey Pines High School. He was a two-year starter at outside linebacker that switched to quarterback as a senior, to take advantage of his mobility and arm strength. Even though he led a run oriented Wing T Offense, he recorded a 50% completion average, 1,441 passing yards and 8 touchdowns.
He was a rare two-sport standout, that also showed the talent to play professional baseball after his fastball was clocked at 94-mph. As a senior, he finished with an 11–0 record, a 1.20 earned-run average, 116 strikeouts and earned the Gatorade National Baseball Player-of-the-Year award. In school, he was a straight-A student and his college entrance exam score ranked among the top 10% in the country.
After choosing Stanford University over professional baseball, he was redshirted in football. The next year he was named the starting quarterback over senior Tim Carey. He started slowly, but improved enough to lead his team to a 38–0 win over Michigan State and be named the MVP of the 1996 Sun Bowl.
