## Early life

Schraeder did not play [high school football](/source/High_school_football).

He hit a late growth spurt and grew a foot in one year.

In 2015, Schraeder graded out as one of the top offensive tackles in the NFL. He was selected to [Pro Football Focus](/source/Pro_Football_Focus)' [All-Pro](/source/All-Pro) team in 2015.

On November 21, 2016, Schraeder signed a five-year contract extension with the Falcons.[4]

After starting all 16 games at right tackle for the Falcons in 2016, Schraeder started 14 games in 2017, missing two games due to a concussion.[5][6] He then started 13 games at right tackle in 2018.[7]
