Christopher "Chris" Schultz (born February 16, 1960 in Burlington, Ontario, Canada) is a retired National Football League and Canadian Football League player who played the offensive tackle position primarily with the CFL Toronto Argonauts. Schultz is currently a sportscaster with Canadian sports television channel TSN.
After attending Aldershot High School in Burlington, Ontario, Schultz played college football in the United States at the University of Arizona.
He was recruited by Arizona head coach Tony Mason as a defensive tackle, where he played his first three years, until being converted to an offensive tackle as a senior.
Schultz was drafted in the seventh round (189th overall) of the 1983 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys. On August 21, 1984, he was placed on the injured reserve list.
After only playing in 5 games with no starts during his first two years, in 1985, Phil Pozderac injured his knee during the third game of the season, which opened the door for Schultz to start the next 3 games at left tackle, only to return to a backup role when Pozderac was healthy. He eventually regained the starting position from the thirteenth game until the playoffs, but struggled mightily while playing against the Los Angeles Rams. He was waived on August 26, 1986.
