Right Guard – Steve Wisniewski

Like Lincoln Kennedy, Wisniewski wasn’t originally drafted by the Raiders. He was taken out of Penn State – where he was twice named an All American – in the second round of the 1989 draft by the Dallas Cowboys.

Dallas then immediately traded him to the Raiders, along with a sixth round pick, in exchange for a second, third, and fifth round pick which the Cowboys parlayed into Darryl Johnston, Rhondy Weston, and Willis Crockett.

Wisniewski went on to play thirteen seasons for the Silver and Black in Los Angeles and then Oakland. Over the course of his distinguished career, Wiz earned eight Pro Bowl invites, was named All Pro twice, and was named second team All Pro another six other times. He was also named the the All Decade team for the 1990’s and remains one of the best linemen the Silver and Black have ever had.
