Al Davis is all about tradition and keeping it in the family. That’s why it’s no surprise they drafted Stefan Wisniewski with the No. 48 overall pick in the NFL Draft.

Stefan will work under his uncle Steve Wisniewski, who made eight Pro Bowls and is the team’s new assistant offensive line coach. Stefan’s father Leo was also a second round pick and played for the Colts.

Oakland’s offensive line had a great year in 2010 mauling opponents in the running game; Wisniewski should fit right in.
