Steve Wisniewski Madden Career 1992-2002 - Peak 99 OVR
Two missed starts in thirteen brutal Raiders seasons
Steve Wisniewski hit people until they stopped wanting to line up across from him. The Raiders traded up for him after Dallas drafted him in the second round in 1989, and the Penn State All-American paid it off with thirteen seasons and eight Pro Bowls in silver and black. He earned first- or second-team All-Pro honors eight times and a spot on the NFL's 1990s All-Decade Team, built on run blocking that bordered on cruel and a nasty streak officials came to know well.
Durability set him apart as much as the meanness. Across those thirteen years he missed exactly two starts. In Madden he opens as a 77 in the 1996 edition, then holds his prime at a matching 89 in both the 2000 and 2001 games, the number staying put the way his play did. When he walked away after 2001, he had tied the most Pro Bowl selections by any Raider to that point.
