Ty Schadt

Producer/Writer/Editor

Hello! My name is Ty Schadt. I'm an Emmy Award-winning writer who is currently a Senior Associate Producer at WWE, where I help produce documentaries and various other forms of original content.

Along the way I've spent time at NFL Films, NBC Sports, Kentucky Sports Radio, and SiriusXM, helping produce shows like Hard Knocks, Inside the NFL, NFL Top 100, and Eli's Places.

Additionally, I have written several features that NFL Films has produced, one of which won a Sports Emmy for Most Outstanding Writing.

Below is some of my most recent work!

"The Lumberman Quarterback"

A feature I wrote for NFL Films about Josh McCown, a 40-year-old backup QB who had one of the most unique playoff debuts of all time, and whose career reflects one of my favorite mantras: "It's not what you look at, it's what you see."

I wrote the story at the end of an internship with NFL Films in 2020, and the following season it aired in an episode of NFL Films Presents on FS1.

In 2021, it won the Sports Emmy Award for Most Outstanding Long Form Writing.

Here's a clip from the ceremony!
