James Patrick Screen, Jr., known as Pat Screen (May 13, 1943 – September 12, 1994), was a Louisiana State University quarterback from New Orleans, Louisiana, who served as the Democratic Mayor-President of East Baton Rouge Parish from 1981–1988.
Screen was the son of James P. Screen, Sr. (1914–1994) and Rosemary T. Screen (1921–2002). The senior Screen was residing with his wife in Metairie in Jefferson Parish outside New Orleans at the time of his death, exactly three months after the passing of their son, Pat Screen.
Pat Screen excelled in football as a high school sophomore at Jesuit High School in New Orleans, where he played in the 1958, 1959, and 1960 seasons, having led his team to state championships. He continued this success at LSU in Baton Rouge, but in 1963, he sustained a separated shoulder in the fourth game against the University of Miami.
In the 1964 game against LSU's arch-rival Ole Miss, Screen was injured for the contest with a heavily taped knee, but the quarterback managed to hit nine of ten passes in an early 69-yard drive that gave the Tigers a 3-0 lead. In the second quarter, pain force Screen to yield to Billy Ezell. Ultimately, LSU prevailed 10-9 as the result of an unexpected two-point conversion.
Screen played in the Cotton Bowl on January 1, 1966, in competition with the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, Screen took over for the injured Nelson Stokley and directed the LSU Tigers to a 14–7 upset victory over the heavily favored and second-ranked and unbeaten Razorbacks at the post-season game played in Dallas, Texas. In 1965, Screen was drafted in the tenth round by the Cleveland Browns.
