Brian Jozwiak (born in Catonsville, Maryland) was an American football offensive lineman who played college football at West Virginia University before playing professional football for the Kansas City Chiefs.

[edit] Early career

Brian Jozwiak began his football career as a defensive tackle in the Baltimore area. Jozwiak earned honorable-mention all-metro player honors while playing for Catonsville Senior High School.

[edit] Collegiate career

When enrolling at West Virginia, Mountaineers' coach Don Nehlen moved Jozwiak from defensive tackle to offensive lineman. Jozwiak not only led the way for West Virginia ballcarriers, but blocked for all-time great Mountaineer quarterback Jeff Hostetler. In 1985, Jozwiak was named a consensus All-American, the sixth Mountaineer ever such honored at that time. He was also named a second team All-American by the Associated Press in 1983.

[edit] Pro career

Jozwiak was selected in the first round, 7th overall of the 1986 NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs. He played three pro seasons before suffering a career-ending knee injury.
