Steve Wisniewski (born April 7, 1967), nicknamed "the Wiz", is an American former professional football player who was a guard for 13 seasons in the National Football League (NFL) with the Los Angeles / Oakland Raiders, and later served as the team's assistant offensive line coach. He played college football for the Penn State Nittany Lions, where he was named an All-American. He was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the second round of the 1989 NFL draft, but his playing rights were traded to the Raiders during the same draft. A tough guard in his day (particularly in blocking the run), Wisniewski was named an All-Pro (2 First-team, six Second-team) eight times while missing only two games in his career.
