Brian St. Pierre

Brian Fuller St. Pierre (born November 28, 1979) is an American former professional football player who was a quarterback in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Boston College Eagles. St. Pierre was selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the fifth round of the 2003 NFL draft.

St. Pierre spent almost his entire career as a backup. He played in three regular season games in his NFL career: one with the Steelers in 2004, one with the Arizona Cardinals in 2009, and one with the Carolina Panthers in 2010, the latter being his only start. He spent four of his first five seasons with the Steelers, and also had a stint with the Baltimore Ravens in 2005 without seeing any game action.

After his playing career, he became the head coach of his alma mater St. John's Preparatory School in Danvers, Massachusetts.

St. Pierre was born in Salem, Massachusetts, and attended St. John's Preparatory School in Massachusetts. He broke the school's single season and career records for completions, attempts, touchdown passes, touchdown rushes, completion percentage, and games played. He earned All-America honors from Tom Lemming, PrepStar and SuperPrep magazines. He was also named Massachusetts and New England Gatorade Player of the Year and was selected as USA Today's Massachusetts co-player of the year. He was team captain for the 1997 St. John's team that finished 11–0 and won the Eastern Massachusetts Super Bowl. He was a three-year Catholic Conference all-star in football and a two-time Catholic Conference all-star in baseball. He was also a member of the St. John's basketball team that won the 1997–98 Catholic Conference title.

After spending the 1998 season as a red-shirt, St. Pierre entered the 1999 season as the Boston College Eagles second-string quarterback behind junior Tim Hasselbeck. He made the first start of his career on October 16 against Pittsburgh. He completed nine of fifteen passes for 115 yards and threw the first touchdown pass of his career. He also ran the ball seven times for 62 yards before leaving the game with a concussion.

Due to an injury to Hasselbeck, St. Pierre was the starting quarterback in BC's 2000 season opener against Notre Dame. He completed 15 of 29 passes for 172 yards and two touchdowns in a 28–16 loss to the Fighting Irish. St. Pierre spent the remainder of the season as a backup, however coach Tom O'Brien used him for at least one possession of every game.

St. Pierre became the Eagles' starting quarterback in 2001 and started all 12 games. He completed 149 of 279 passes for 2,233 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. He was the co-winner of the 2001 Scanlan Award, an award given by the Boston College Varsity Club Award to the senior football player outstanding in scholarship, leadership, and athletic ability. BC finished the year with a 7–4 record and defeated Georgia 20–16 in the Music City Bowl.

During the 2002 regular season, he completed 237 of 407 passes for 2,983 yards, 18 touchdowns, and 17 interceptions. St. Pierre went 25-of-35 for 342 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in the final game of his collegiate career, a 51–26 win over Toledo in the 2002 Motor City Bowl. St. Pierre finished his college career third on the all-time Boston College passing list with 5,837 yards and third on the all-time touchdowns list with 48 career TDs.
