Josh James Sitton (/ˈsɪtən/ SIT-ən; born June 16, 1986) is an American football guard for the Chicago Bears of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at UCF, and was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the fourth round of the 2008 NFL Draft. He won Super Bowl XLV with them against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Sitton attended Catholic High School in Pensacola, Florida, where he lettered four times in football and twice in basketball. A two-way lineman, Sitton allowed just three quarterback sacks over two seasons on the offensive side, while adding 50 tackles and six sacks as a defensive lineman as a senior. He earned second-team all-state and first-team all-area honors as an offensive lineman as a senior.
Regarded as only a two-star recruit by both Rivals.com and Scout.com, Sitton was not listed among the best offensive lineman prospects in the class of 2004. He chose UCF over offers from Nicholls State University and the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
