Cory Gene Raymer (born March 3, 1973) is a former American college and professional football player who was a center in the National Football League (NFL) for eleven seasons. Raymer played college football for the University of Wisconsin, and was honored as an All-American. A second-round pick in the 1995 NFL Draft, he played professionally for the Washington Redskins and San Diego Chargers of the NFL.
Raymer was born in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. He attended Goodrich High School in Fond du Lac, and was a USA Today All-America honorable mention selection and earned first-team all-state honors as a defensive tackle.
Raymer attended the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where he played for the Wisconsin Badgers football team from 1991 to 1994. As a senior in 1994, he was recognized as a unanimous first-team All-American at center. He was Wisconsin's first consensus All-American since Tim Krumrie in 1981. Raymer was also one of 12 nominees for the 1994 Lombardi Award, which is awarded to college football's top lineman. He graduated from Wisconsin with a bachelor's degree in letters and sciences.
Raymer was selected by the Washington Redskins in the second round (37th pick) of the 1995 NFL Draft, and he played for the Redskins from 1995 to 2001. In 1996, while returning home from a fishing trip, a car crossed his path. In an attempt to avoid the car, Raymer turned over his vehicle and suffered a bruised kidney, fractured vertebra and badly sprained left shoulder. This would cause him to miss the rest of the season and put his NFL career in jeopardy. However, Raymer played six games the following season and started three after Jeff Uhlenhake was sidelined.
