Schwartz Is NFL Iron Man Smooth Stroke

itchell Schwartz is entering his seventh NFL season Mand in a sport where injuries are commonplace, he has yet to miss a game in his career. The former Palisades High standout is an offensive lineman for the Kansas City Chiefs, who will travel to Los Angeles for their opener Sept. 9 against the Char- gers. Schwartz has become football’s “Iron Man,” having been on the field for 6,351 consecutive snaps. After a momentous off- season in which he got married and honeymooned in Florida, the 6-foot-5, 320-pound tackle is ea- ger to extend his streak of regular season starts—96 and counting. Schwartz was a two-time All- State underclassman and earned All-Western League and All-City honors his junior year. As a senior in 2006 he was the CIF Los Ange- les City Offensive Lineman of the Year, Western League Lineman of the Year and a Prepstar All-West Region selection. He also pitched on the baseball team and, had a 4.3 GPA and was named to the Princi- pal’s Honor Roll and Dean’s List.
