Mike John Pagel (born September 13, 1960 in Douglas, Arizona), was a former professional American football player who was selected by the Baltimore Colts in the 4th round of the 1982 NFL Draft. A 6'2", 206 lbs. quarterback from Arizona State, Pagel played in 12 NFL seasons from 1982-1993.
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 Colts, alternating with Art 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 duties.
Pagel now resides in suburban Cleveland, Ohio and is a project manager for SBC/Ameritech. He also serves as analyst for the pregame, halftime, and postgame shows on WTAM and WMMS during Browns games
