Los Angeles Raiders quarterback Jay Schroeder avoids pressure while looking for receiver during first action against Cincinnati Bengals at the Los Angeles Coliseum, Sunday, Jan. 14, 1991. Schroeder has fond memories of his playing days with former BYU great Todd Christensen.
HURRICANE — Former Washington Redskins and Los Angeles Raiders quarterback Jay Schroeder once benefited from the soft hands of the late Todd Christensen, whom some say should be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Schroeder remembers the former BYU star as a remarkable pass-catching tight end in the NFL, one who vacuumed passes out of the sky, made what seemed like a million first downs, and scored gobs of touchdowns.
