John George Schneider (February 15, 1894 – May 13, 1957) was a professional American football player in the "Ohio League" and the early National Football League (NFL) for the Columbus Panhandles.
In 1920 he played in one of the first NFL games during a Panhandles 14-0 loss to the Dayton Triangles.
He was a teammate of the Panhandles' infamous Nesser Brothers and later married their sister Mary Rose.
According to his daughter, Cassidy, the Panhandles sometimes would go to different places and the opposing team would not have enough players.
During one such game, John, was picked to play against his own team and the Nessers.
