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.
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.
He also said in a statement that "I’m thrilled to be working in the building again for the Silver and Black and helping to shape the future of the offensive line."
However, right before the start of training camp in July 2012, it was announced that Wisniewski had resigned for "personal reasons" but would remain with the club as an ambassador.
He spent one year at Stanford University, helping coach the offensive line on a team that reached the Orange Bowl[4] Wisniewski is a born-again Christian[5] and currently volunteers at The Well Christian Community Church in Dublin, California, the church founded by fellow ex-Raider, Napoleon Kaufman.
Wisniewski's nephew (Leo's son), Stefen, was a guard/center on the Penn State team & had a standout career there.
