Stefen David Wisniewski (born March 22, 1989) is an American football guard and center for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the second round of the 2011 NFL Draft out of Penn State. He has also played for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Wisniewski comes from an athletic family; his father Leo Wisniewski played four seasons for the Colts as a nose tackle, while his uncle Steve Wisniewski was an eight-time Pro Bowl guard with the Raiders and is the team's first-year assistant offensive line coach for 2011. He played in the 2007 U.S. Army All-American Bowl.
Wisniewski became the first Penn State Football student-athlete to be named an ESPN Academic All-American three times, having been a first team selection in 2008, 2009, and 2010. He became Penn State's 95th first team All-American at the conclusion of the 2010 season. Prior to the 2011 NFL Draft, Wisniewski was regarded as one of the top centers prospects available.
Wisniewski was taken with the 48th overall pick in the second round of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Oakland Raiders, and signed with the Raiders shortly before the beginning of the 2011 training camp. Stating that he wished to create his own legacy, he declined to wear his uncle's old uniform #76 (which was available), opting for his college #61 instead.
