Geoff and Mitchell Schwartz are the NFL’s most improbable pair of offensive linemen. They started their football careers late, not playing a down of organized football until they joined their low-key high school program. Despite all that, they wound up at top-tier college programs and became the first Jewish brothers in the league since 1923.

In Eat My Schwartz, Geoff and Mitch talk about the things that have made them the extraordinary people that they are: their close-knit and supportive family, their Jewish faith and traditions, their love of the game and drive for excellence and, last but not least, the food they love to eat, whether at home or on the road. Theirs is an inspiring story not just for every football fan but for everybody wanting to figure out what it takes for dreams to come true—and how to stay well-fed throughout the process.

New York Giants offensive lineman GEOFF SCHWARTZ was drafted by the Carolina Panthers in 2008 after anchoring the line at right tackle for three years with the Oregon Ducks. An eight-year NFL veteran, he signed with the Giants in 2014.

Kansas City Chiefs offensive tackle MITCH SCHWARTZ earned All-Pac 12 Conference and Academic All-Conference honors at Cal-Berkeley. He was drafted by the Browns in 2012 and played every single offensive down while on the team. He joined the Chiefs in 2016.
