Who is John Cowne?
John Kendall Cowne is a former American football center, primarily a long snapper on special teams. He attended Brentsville District High School and played college football at Virginia Tech in the early 1980s.
Cowne briefly made it to the National Football League with the Washington Redskins. He was on the team's roster for three games in 1987, playing weeks four to six as one of the replacement players hired during the National Football League Players Association strike that year. Due to the playoff success of the Redskins after rosters were restored, Cowne and other replacement players received bonus checks for their contributions towards the Redskins win. Cowne was only the third Hokie to play for the Redskins when signed in 1987. He had previously gone to training camp for the 1987 season with the San Diego Chargers before being waived at the end of preseason.
Cowne currently is a sports marketing teacher and football coach at Loudoun Valley High School in Purcellville, Virginia.
