John Leonard Wilbur (May 21, 1943 – December 9, 2013) was a professional American football offensive lineman for the National Football League (NFL) and the World Football League (WFL).
Wilbur attended Alexander Hamilton High School in Los Angeles, California. He declined football scholarships from the University of Southern California and the University of California-Los Angeles, opting for Stanford University in 1961 and intending to study law with an Eagle Scout scholarship.
He became a starter at guard as a sophomore. He was a three-year starter and played offensive guard, offensive tackle and defensive end. He graduated with a degree in History from Stanford University.
Wilbur was selected by the Kansas City Chiefs in the sixth round (45th overall) of the 1965 AFL Draft, but instead chose to sign with the NFL's Dallas Cowboys as a free agent in 1966. As a rookie, he quit training camp and had to be convinced to come back. He played mainly as the wedge-buster on special teams and as backup offensive tackle.
