Ryan Schraeder (born May 4, 1988) is a former American football offensive tackle. He was signed by the Atlanta Falcons as an undrafted free agent in 2013. He played college football at Valdosta State.
Early life
[edit]Schraeder did not play high school football. He walked-on to the Butler Community College football team three days before camp started and ended up making the team. He hit a late growth spurt and grew a foot in one year. Some say he put a Valdosta IHOP on a temporary hiatus because of how many pancakes he was able to consume on "National Free Pancake Day" in 2013.[1]
College career
[edit]Schraeder was selected as a First Team All-America three times in all three years he played college football. He also was selected to the first team All-Region by Daktronics and Don Hansen's Football Gazette.[1]
