Mitchell Schwartz

Mitchell Schwartz, affectionately known as “Man-mountain” for his imposing stature and dominant presence on the football field, carved out a remarkable legacy during his tenure in the NFL. Born on June 8, 1989, in Pacific Palisades, California, Schwartz’s journey to gridiron greatness began at a young age, fueled by his passion for the game and unwavering determination.

Drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the second round of the 2012 NFL Draft, Schwartz wasted no time making his mark as one of the league’s premier offensive tackles. His stellar performance on the field earned him widespread recognition, including four selections as an All-Pro Offensive Tackle, a testament to his exceptional skill and consistency.

In 2015, Schwartz embarked on a new chapter of his career with the Kansas City Chiefs, where he played a pivotal role in the team’s success, culminating in a triumphant victory at Super Bowl LIV. His contributions to the Chiefs’ championship run further solidified his place among football’s elite.

Beyond his achievements on the gridiron, Schwartz is also known for his culinary prowess and love of food. Alongside his brother, Geoff Schwartz, also a former NFL player, he authored the book “Eat My Schwartz: Our Story of NFL Football, Food, Family, and Faith,” offering fans a glimpse into his life both on and off the field.

On July 14, 2022, Mitchell Schwartz bid farewell to the NFL, announcing his retirement after a storied career marked by excellence and dedication. His impact on the game will be felt for years to come, and his induction into the Southern California Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in 2016 stands as a testament to his enduring legacy both as an athlete and a role model.
