Biography

Peter Schrager serves as an NFL insider and reporter for FOX and FS1. In 2018, Schrager spent most of the season in the studio contributing on FOX NFL Kickoff, with the exemption of four games in which he reported from the sidelines. In 2017, his second full season, he teamed with play-by-play announcer Thom Brennaman and analyst Chris Spielman, covering the NFL sidelines for FOX Sports. In addition, he regularly contributes to FS1 studio shows The Herd with Colin Cowherd and Speak for Yourself. Schrager also served as an NFL writer for FOXSports.com through 2017.

Schrager joined FOX Sports in 2006 writing for FOXSports.com and on Fox News Channel as a sports correspondent covering national stories. In 2009, his role with Fox News Channel expanded, and he began appearing weekly on Sunday nights with Harris Faulkner on FOX Report to discuss the weekend in sports. In the years that followed, Schrager’s year-round NFL Draft coverage generated national attention, and his annual 7-Round Mock Drafts became one of the more popular fixtures on FoxSports.com.

Beginning with the launch of FS1 in 2013, Schrager began making regular appearances on the network, serving as an in-studio NFL insider and on-site NFL reporter. He has landed several exclusive sit-down interviews with athletes and features highlighting some of the lesser-known stories in the sports world. He has covered Super Bowl XLVIII, the 2014 Winter Olympics from Sochi, and the NFL and NBA Drafts for the network, and has been the sideline reporter for several FOX NFL broadcasts. He served as an analyst for the 2017 NFL Draft for NFL Network.

He also contributed to FOX Sports’ coverage of Super Bowl LI from Houston in 2017, including a co-hosting role alongside Sports Illustrated’s Peter King on a Facebook Live series during Super Bowl week from Houston. In 2016, Schrager also worked his first full slate of NFL games as a sideline reporter alongside play-by-play announcer Brennaman and analyst Charles Davis.

In addition to his work with FOX Sports, Schrager spent time as an editorial contributor for Inside the NFL on Showtime, winning a Sports Emmy in 2013 for Outstanding Studio Show – Weekly. Schrager also is an accomplished author who has written two books: Strength of a Champion with OJ Brigance, and the New York Times Bestseller Out of the Blue with Victor Cruz (2012). Schrager also is a frequent contributor to GQ, profiling athletes such as Ndamukong Suh, DeMarcus Ware, and Steve Nash. Schrager appears each week day as host of the NFL Network’s Good Morning Football and wrote for ESPN.com prior to his time with FOX Sports.

Born in Freehold, N.J., Schrager attended Freehold Township High School. He graduated from Emory University in 2004 with a major in political science. While at Emory, Schrager wrote for the Emory Wheel, the student newspaper, and hosted a popular, on-campus weekly radio show. Schrager lists his most unusual job-related incident as fishing with Randy Moss for three days at Big Bear Lake. Schrager resides in Brooklyn with his wife, Erica, and their son.

Strength of a Champion: Finding Faith and Fortitude Through Adversity

As the Baltimore Ravens made their improbable march to victory in Super Bowl XLVII, they turned to their senior advisor of player development, O.J. Brigance, for inspiration each and every Sunday. Following a stellar twelve-year career as a linebacker, including a Super Bowl win with Baltimore in 2000, O.J.Juice Brigance joined the Ravens front office. But in 2007, O.J. was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease and told he had only three to five years to live. As a player, he’d battled hundreds of injuries and setbacks. None of them prepared him to face ALS. With faith and determination in his heart and his wife, Chanda, praying by his side, O.J. fought back against the debilitating disease, even as ALS robbed him of the ability to walk and speak. He kept working, smiling, and touching his players lives all the way through their remarkable Super Bowl run more than five years after his diagnosis. Now, O.J. shares his incredible story, offering lessons in resilience and reflecting on the championship team that inspired him in turn. Along with his own journey, O.J. recounts the struggles and successes of Ravens players, including Ray Lewis, Joe Flacco, and Torrey Smith, as well as the strength of head coach John Harbaugh. Having watched their season from the best seat in the house, O.J. highlights their perseverance, confidence, and leadership, and the best that sports can bring out in people. Full of profound revelations and never-before-told anecdotes, Strength of a Champion is a celebration of the human spirit from a man who left everything on the field. O.J. Brigance never asked to be a hero. That’s what makes his story so courageous.

Out of the Blue

Victor Cruz, the Super Bowl-winning and record-breaking wide receiver, is best known for his explosive plays and salsa touchdown celebrations. While his meteoric rise in the NFL looked like the result of a magical year, it was actually a lifetime in the making. Raised in Paterson, New Jersey’s gritty Fourth Ward, Cruz overcame numerous setbacks through hard work, perseverance, and the support of his loving family—from his grandmother who gave him his signature dance moves; to his late father, a former firefighter, who introduced him to football and taught him how to play; to his hard-working, single mother who never let him give up in the face of a challenge. They all helped to keep him on the right path, as did his coaches, but Cruz’s journey was never easy. There were family tragedies, academic struggles, injuries, and more. In this inspiring, never-before-seen account, Cruz pays tribute to the people and places that made him the man he is today, recounts his most defining moments, and illustrates how his hardships ultimately unleashed his impenetrable will to win. Out of the Blue is a candid and moving reflection of an overlooked and undersized athlete with an uncommon last name in American football that was determined to beat the odds and earn his chance to succeed.
