Drafted in the Second Round from California in 2012 by the Cleveland Browns, Schwartz won the starting Right Tackle job as a rookie, and started every game for Cleveland for his four years as an NFL player. Schwartz signed with Kansas City in 2016 as a Free Agent, and it quietly became one of the best signing in franchise history.
Schwartz took his play to the next level with the Chiefs, earning four consecutive All-Pros (three Second Team and one First Team), and was instrumental in the protection of Quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, who led Kansas City to a Super Bowl win in LIV. Kansas City’s running game was also stellar with Schwartz anchoring the line.
A back injury in 2020, put him on the shelf after six Games, and he was released after the season. After sitting out 2021, Schwartz elected to call it a career. Schwartz may never have made it to the Pro Bowl but four All-Pros certainly show that he should have. This could be one of the best players in recent memory to have never earned a “PB” beside his name.
