Mark Schmidt Signed By NFL Lions[edit]

Mark Schmidt is a former professional football player with the NFL's Detroit Lions. Schmidt was an outstanding college player who was always expected to play at the highest level of competition.

Schmidt signed a three-year contract with the Club after completing all four seasons as a starter with the UB Bulls at wide receiver in 1984. Schmidt was also a full scholarship player at Temple University before transferring to the University of Buffalo and completing his college career, achieving numerous post season honors. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound all American athlete tallied up career totals of 71 pass receptions for 1,106 yards and seven touchdowns by 1988. Schmidt was the 11th UB football player to sign a professional contract since 1977 at the time.

Records from the interview by Spectrum with the Detroit Lions' Player Personnel Director Joe Bushofsky indicates positive performance after signing with the team. Bushofsky said to the Spectrum, "He's performed very well and has proven he can catch the ball, Mark's got real soft hands and is learning the operation well. It's too early now to say where he stacks up and I wouldn't want to say where anyone ranks right now, but (Mark) is doing a good job." Schmidt is one of eleven wide receivers brought into camp by the Lions. Schmidt has been noted to to be not easily intimidated and rising to the challenge of competing at the professional level.

Ron Hughes (Director of Pro Personnel in Detroit 1984 - 1990) once said, "He's consistently caught the ball from the films we saw, and when we tested him. We use a guy like Steve Largent (Seattle Seahawks' wide receiver) as the gauge. "(Largent's) a guy who's not fast, but always comes up with the ball. We're not saying Mark will do the same, but he's in that style of receiver. That had to do a lot with our decision. (The reasons the Lions chose to sign Mark Schmidt)"

Schmidt continued a life close to football after leaving the professional game by landing the Color Analyst job for the University At Buffalo Athletics football program in the early 90's, a position he held for 5 years. Schmidt also held a position for the Empire Sports Network as an On-Air Talent Analyst co-hosting the "Thurman Thomas Show" for two seasons. Empire Sports Network provided viewership in New York and Pennsylvania at the time. Schmidt continued his sports editorial career by contributing to the "Buffalo Bills Report Magazine" and worked as a talk show host for WHTT's "Sportswrap" show during the mid 90's.
