Steven Leonard DeOssie (born November 22, 1962 in Tacoma, Washington) is a former American football linebacker and long snapper. DeOssie played college football at Boston College, and went on to play in the National Football League for the Dallas Cowboys, the New York Giants, the New York Jets and the New England Patriots.
DeOssie played high school football at the now defunct Don Bosco Technical High School in Boston, Massachusetts for head coach Bob Currier. He accepted a scholarship to play at Boston College where he was a four-year starter at linebacker and the team's long snapper.
He helped the Eagles reach its first bowl game in 41 years (Tangerine Bowl), earned All-East honors in his last two seasons and also finished with a team record of more than 400 career tackles. In 1997, he was inducted into the Boston College Varsity Club Athletic Hall of Fame.
DeOssie was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the 4th round (110th overall) of the 1984 NFL Draft, because he dropped after being selected by the New Jersey Generals in the first round (15th overall) of the 1984 USFL Draft.
