Jean Schloss Fugett, Jr. (born December 16, 1951) is a former professional American football player, a tight end in the National Football League for eight seasons with the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins. He was selected to the Pro Bowl after the 1977 season.
Born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, Fugett attended Cardinal Gibbons School, where he started playing football as a senior, becoming a two-way player (tight end and defensive end). He graduated in 1968 and was named the Baltimore Catholic Athlete of the Year, the first black athlete to be given the award.
He accepted a scholarship to Amherst College in Massachusetts, because he wanted to go to a school where he could play both basketball and football. He received Little All-American honors in 1971.
Fugett was selected in the thirteenth round of the 1972 NFL Draft by the Super Bowl champion Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys carried only two tight ends on the roster in those years, but saw potential in the 20-year-old rookie and made an exception by adding him as the third one. The next year, Billy Joe DuPree was taken in the first round of the 1973 NFL Draft and became an instant starter at tight end.
