Jay Brian Schroeder (born June 28, 1961) is a former professional American football quarterback. He played college football at UCLA, after which he was selected in the third round (83rd overall) of the 1984 NFL draft by the Washington Redskins where he played for three seasons. He then played for the Los Angeles Raiders for five seasons, he then spent one season each with the Cincinnati Bengals and Arizona Cardinals.
While with the Washington Redskins, Schroeder was selected to his only Pro Bowl in his final season with the team. He also won his only Super Bowl ring, when the Redskins won Super Bowl XXII over the Denver Broncos.
Schroeder attended Palisades High School and was a high school football teammate of actor Forest Whitaker.
He was a third round draft pick in the 1984 NFL Draft by Washington after a college career at UCLA, in which he started only one game. He did produce a memorable moment, throwing a game-winning touchdown pass on a deflection to future NFL star Freeman McNeil to beat arch-rival USC. He also played minor league baseball in the Pioneer League.
Schroeder entered as quarterback for the Redskins when starter Joe Theismann suffered a career ending leg injury on Monday Night Football in the second quarter of the eleventh game of the season against the New York Giants November 18, 1985. Schroeder's first pass after Theismann was taken off the field was a 43-yard completion to Art Monk. The Redskins came close to a touchdown after the catch, but a fumble by John Riggins inside the five yard line was recovered by Lawrence Taylor. Washington eventually won the game, 23-21.
