Mike John Pagel is a former professional American football player who was selected by the Baltimore Colts in the fourth round of the 1982 NFL Draft. A 6'2", 206 lb quarterback from Arizona State, Pagel played in 12 NFL seasons from 1982?1993. 1980: 184/334 for 2,025 yards with 17 TD vs. 9 INT 1981: 171/321 for 2,484 yards with 29 TD vs. 14 INT Drafted the same year as highly touted Art Schlichter, Pagel was drafted to be groomed as a backup. Generally he out-played Schlichter. Pagel bounced in and out of the starting QB job for the Colts in his four seasons with the team, alternating with Schlichter, Matt Kofler, and Mark Herrmann. He was traded to Cleveland for the 1986 season and served for the next five years there strictly as a backup. In 1988, he took over for an injured Bernie Kosar and Don Strock and played well in a playoff loss to the Houston Oilers. Pagel finished up the last three years with the Los Angeles Rams, never garnering more than mop-up duties2. Pagel now resides in suburban Cleveland, Ohio, and is a project manager for AT&T.
