Mitchell Bryan Schwartz (born June 8, 1989) is an American football offensive tackle for the Cleveland Browns of the National Football League (NFL). He is 6 feet 5 inches (1.96 m) tall, and weighs 320 pounds (145 kg). Schwartz played college football at the University of California, Berkeley, for the Golden Bears. He started all 51 games possible from 2008–11, at either left tackle or right tackle. He was named second-team All-Pac-10 as a junior, and first-team All-Pac-12 and Pac-12 All-Academic as a senior. He also earned honorable mention Pac-10 All-Academic (2008–10), and the Brick Muller Award as Cal's Most Valuable Offensive Lineman (2009–11), for three seasons each. Schwartz was drafted in the 2nd round (37th overall) by the Browns in the 2012 NFL draft. He started all 48 games of his first three years at right tackle, without missing a snap. Schwartz was named to the Pro Football Focus (PFF) 2012 All-Rookie Team, lauded for his "top-notch pass blocking", and to the 2014 PFF All-Third Year Team. ==Early years and personal life== Schwartz was born in Pacific Palisades, California, weighing 8 pounds, 12 ounces, (4.0 kg) and grew up in West Los Angeles.〔 He is the son of Lee Schwartz, a business consultant to manufacturing companies, and Olivia Goodkin, an attorney.〔 Schwartz is Jewish, and was raised in Conservative Judaism.〔 His Hebrew name is Mendel.〔 Schwartz didn't start playing football until he was a freshman in high school.〔 First, he was extremely large for his age; when he started the ninth grade, he was already 6 feet 5 inches tall (1.96 m), and 240 pounds (109 kg). And too big for the size restrictions of the local Pop Warner youth leagues.〔 Second, his parents wanted him to instead focus on studying for his Bar Mitzvah, a coming of age rite-of-passage for Jewish boys who are reaching 13 years of age, at which point they become an adult in terms of their duties.〔〔 His brother, offensive guard Geoff Schwartz, plays in the NFL for the New York Giants. Other Jewish football players in the NFL include Gabe Carimi, Erik Lorig, Taylor Mays, Nate Ebner, Adam Podlesh, Antonio Garay, Kyle Kosier, Brian de la Puente, and Igor Olshansky. Geoff and Mitchell are the first Jewish brothers to play in the NFL since Ralph Horween and Arnold Horween, in 1923. His father, speaking of the fact that he has two sons playing in the National Football League, said: "I just kvell." His mother, commenting on having two sons play football, said: I started out worrying that they were going to get hurt—but then I realized it was the other players I should be worrying about. They were like trucks hitting small cars. And I started to kind of feel like maybe this was their destiny.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mitchell Schwartz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
