Steven Carl Pelluer (born July 29, 1962) is a former professional American football player who was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the 5th round of the 1984 NFL Draft. A 6 ft 4 in (1.93 m), 209 lb (95 kg) quarterback from the University of Washington, Pelluer played in eight NFL seasons from 1984 to 1991.
Pelluer attended Interlake High School in Washington and lettered in football and basketball. In football, he led his team to the state quarterfinals as a junior and as a senior.
He went on to play at the University of Washington. As a sophomore in 1981, he took over the starting quarterback position, after Tim Cowan injured his thumb in the second game of the season. He finished with 110 of 234 completions, for 1,138 yards and 9 touchdowns, while leading the team to a Pacific-10 Conference title and a 28-0 win over the University of Iowa in the 1982 Rose Bowl. In 1982, even though his record was 7-1, he lost his starting job to Cowan. In 1983, he had one of the best quarterback seasons in school history, receiving All-Pac-10 and the conference's offensive player of the year honors, after completing a 65.1% of his passes (school record) for 2,365 yards and 11 touchdowns.
