John Fourcade was born on the West Bank of New Orleans in Gretna and became a high school quarterback phenomenon at Archbishp Shaw in Marrero. Fourcade was the 4A All-State MVP in 1977 despite falling to Bobby Hebert's eventual state champion South Lafourche sqaud in the state semi-finals. Fourcade would go on to quarterback the Ole Miss Rebels, breaking most of Archie Manning's school passing records and being named the MVP of the 1982 Senior Bowl. After stints in the CFL, USFL, and the Arena Football League, Fourcade filled in as the starting quarterback for the New Orleans Saints during the strike of 1987. Fourcade did so well during those 3 games that he made the Saints' regular roster and started 8 games during the 1988 & 1989 seasons.
