Donald Penn was a highly successful offensive tackle for the Oakland Raiders. Despite being undrafted in 2006, Penn has established himself as one of the top tackles in the NFL.

He is an eight-time Pro Bowler and four-time First Team All-Pro selection. Donald Penn was born on April 27, 1983, in Los Angeles, California to parents who were both immigrants from Haiti.

After graduating from high school in 2002, Penn attended Utah State University where he played football under head coach Gary Andersen. 

In 2006, after not being drafted by any team during the pre-draft process, Penn signed with the Minnesota Vikings as an unheralded free agent linebacker/offensive lineman hybrid player (he had originally been recruited to play quarterback at Utah State).

The Viking's coaches quickly realized that they had found their future starting left tackle and he started 10 games over his first two seasons there before signing with the Oakland Raiders as a free agent prior to the 2009 season. 

While playing for three different teams during his six years in the NFL (the Minnesota Vikings, Oakland Raiders, and Philadelphia Eagles ), Pitt made history by becoming just one of only nine players ever to achieve 100 starts at multiple positions along the offensive line.

At 6 ft 4in tall and 315lb., Donald has size and strength comparable only to some of today’s elite defensive linemen but instead uses it primarily for blocking purposes; allowing rushers such as Khalil Mack or Von Miller limited time against either him or fellow Raider teammate Gabe Jackson. 

Donald is married with three children and currently resides near Philadelphia where he continues his coaching career working alongside Lane Kiffin as a graduate assistant at USC Donald Penn was originally signed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent in 2006.

He played for the Oakland Raiders from 2014 to 2018 and then moved to Washington Redskins in 2019. Donald Penn is a versatile offensive lineman who has started 189 games over his career,

 including three times at left tackle and twice at right tackle. He has been a Pro Bowler three times (2010, 2016, 2017) and second-team All-WAC selection in 2005.

Osemele is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season and there is speculation that he will test the free-agent market.
