John Paye (born March 30, 1965) is a former American football quarterback in the National Football League and a high school basketball coach.
A graduate of Menlo School in Atherton, California, Paye lettered in baseball, basketball, and football. In his senior year of 1983, Menlo won the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Division II basketball championship. One of Paye's teammates was Eric Reveno, who played with Paye on Stanford's basketball team and is currently an assistant basketball coach at Georgia Tech University.
Paye continued as a starter in football and basketball at Stanford, and became the starting quarterback in his freshman year of 1983. That year, Paye also started at point guard for Stanford's basketball team. Paye was the last NCAA Division I athlete to start in both football and basketball as a freshman.
In the 1984 season, he shared time at quarterback with Fred Buckley, and became the starter for the 1985 and 1986 season. In 1986, Paye led Stanford to the Gator Bowl against the Clemson Tigers. This was Stanford's first bowl appearance in 8 years, but Paye was unable to play due to a shoulder injury. Backup Greg Ennis started instead, and Stanford lost a close game 27-21.
