EAGLES OFFENSIVE lineman Stefen Wisniewski is exactly the sort of player that NFL general managers and coaches adore. He has pedigree, wits, and wit.
Wisniewski landed this spring in Philadelphia as a 27-year-old free agent with the ability to play both guard positions, but had gotten 62 of his 77 career starts at center. Then again, the trenches are in his blood.
His father, Leo, went to the Colts as a second-round pick in 1982 and played nose tackle. His uncle, Steve, went to the Cowboys as a second-round pick in 1989 and made eight Pro Bowl teams as a guard for the Raiders.
