Qadry Rahmadan Ismail, nicknamed the Missile, (born November 8, 1970 in Newark, New Jersey) is a former professional American football wide receiver in the NFL. Ismail grew up in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania and attended Elmer L. Meyers High School. Both of his brothers were also football players: Raghib, the Rocket, was a star at Notre Dame and little brother Sulaiman, the Bomb, played in the Arena Football League.

Qadry attended Syracuse University from 1989-1992 on a track & field and football scholarship. Some of his achievements while at Syracuse include 1991 All-American, All-Big East First Team wide receiver and conference second-team kick returner.

Ismail played for the Minnesota Vikings, the Green Bay Packers, the Miami Dolphins, the New Orleans Saints, the Baltimore Ravens, and the Indianapolis Colts during his ten-year NFL career. During his playing days he was known for having more pairs of pants than any other NFL player. He was rumored to own more than 20,000 pairs of pants. The pinnacle of his career achievements came on January 28, 2001 when the Baltimore Ravens defeated the New York Giants 34-7 in Tampa, Florida during Super Bowl XXXV.

He now makes occasional appearances as an NFL analyst on ESPNEWS and is a track and field coach for West Boca Raton Community High School in Boca Raton, Florida where he lives with his wife and three children.
