He played college football at Penn State and was a Pittsburgh Steelers fullback for six seasons (1996–2001). Early lifeWitman was born in 1972 to young parents (then 21 and 17)[1] and was raised in Wrightsville, Pennsylvania,[2] a small borough along the Susquehanna River, east of York in the south central part of the state. He played football at Eastern York High School in Wrightsville,[1] where he led the team in back-to-back titles.[2] From there Witman moved to Penn State and was a member of its 1994 undefeated Rose Bowl-winning Nittany Lions football team, pairing with Brian Milne at the fullback position.[3][4][5] Pittsburgh SteelersIn 1996, Witman was the 92nd draft pick,[6] in the third round by the Pittsburgh Steelers,[4][7] with whom he started 43 games until his retirement in 2001.[8] He had not been available for any combines, due to a hamstring injury.[9] In his rookie year with the Steelers, Witman earned the team's "Joe Greene Great Performance Award".[10][11] He got hurt five games into the 2000 season and Dan Kreider took the fullback position for the remaining 10 games. Witman returned for the 2001 season and his last game was the Steelers' January 2002 AFC Championship loss to the New England Patriots.[10][12] StrugglesWitman lost over $1 million in the 2008 stock market crash and as of late 2016, he was going through chapter 13 bankruptcy. Continuing pain from back and ankle fusion surgeries kept him from daily work and he gave his landscaping business to his brother.[13] Witman became addicted to opioid medication[1] and had two DUI crashes in 2016, both for which he was sentenced in 2017.[14] Faced with severe depression, he considered suicide in 2014 but his wife found help through the National Football League Players Association.[13] After months in detox, rehab, and a halfway house, and more rehab after some relapses, he has been clean and sober since November 2016.[1] Personal lifeWitman's father, Keith, a Vietnam-Marine who worked for 30 years at York's Harley-Davidson plant, died of cancer in February 2018.[3] Witman has been partnered with his wife since 1990, the start of their junior year in high school. An initial date didn't go well two years earlier, but they got back together after it became evident he was still interested. They have four sons,[1] one of whom played lacrosse at Eastern York High School as of 2017.[15] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite news |url=https://www.pennlive.com/pennstatefootball/index.ssf/2018/03/penn_state_jon_witman_steelers.html |title=Jon Witman and wife Michelle on his struggle with addictive opioid pain medications and their life now |date=March 21, 2018 |website=PennLive |access-date=June 16, 2018 |quote=A decade and a half of football, first at Eastern York High |first=David |last=Jones }} {{Steelers1996DraftPicks}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Witman, Jon}}2. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.yorkdispatch.com/story/sports/high-school/football/2017/12/27/eastern-york-high-school-looking-new-head-varsity-football-coach/984746001/ |title=Eastern York High School looking for a new head varsity football coach |date=December 27, 2017 |newspaper=York Dispatch |first=Steve |last=Heiser |access-date=January 16, 2019 }} 3. ^1 2 {{cite news |url=https://www.pennlive.com/pennstatefootball/index.ssf/2018/03/penn_state_jon_witman.html |title="Put in da fullback!": Jon Witman never verbally committed to PSU; Joe Paterno just pretended he did – and it worked! |date=March 5, 2018 |website=PennLive |access-date=June 16, 2018 |first=David |last=Jones }} 4. ^1 2 {{cite news |url=https://www.yorkdispatch.com/story/news/2016/10/04/pittsburgh-steelers-witman-dui-police/91564544/ |title=Former Steeler charged with Wrightsville-area DUIs |newspaper=York Dispatch |date=October 4, 2016 |access-date=June 16, 2018 |first=Liz Evans |last=Scolforo }} 5. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.collegian.psu.edu/archives/article_32846ffe-98b0-5937-82c1-6a545096741e.html |title=Studies in dedication |date=October 7, 1995 |first=Michael |last=Signora |newspaper=Collegian |publisher=Penn State University |access-date=June 19, 2018 }} 6. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.nfl.com/draft/history/fulldraft?season=1996 |title=Draft History – 1996 |publisher=National Football League |access-date=June 16, 2018 }} 7. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.behindthesteelcurtain.com/2013/4/18/4234006/5-burning-questions-on-the-steelers-draft-history-the-cowher-donahoe |title=5 Burning Questions on the Steelers Draft History |website=Behind the Steel Curtain |date=April 18, 2013 |first=Hombre |last=de Acero |access-date=June 16, 2018 }} 8. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.yorkblog.com/yorktownsquare/2007/12/17/nfl-players/ |title=York County has produced several star NFL players |first=Jim |last=McClure |website=York Town Square |date=December 17, 2007 |access-date=June 17, 2018 }} 9. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.collegian.psu.edu/archives/article_7e4681fd-cebf-5d87-9791-25e76839a27e.html |first=Jordan |last=Hyman |title=Lions hope for future success in NFL |date=April 19, 1996 |newspaper=Collegian |publisher=Penn State University |access-date=June 19, 2018 }} 10. ^1 {{cite news |url=http://steelcurtainrising.com/2017/02/steelers-fullback-jon-witman-cte-tau-protien-dui-opioid-abuse.html/ |title=Is Former Steelers Fullback Jon Witman Doomed to Become CTE's Next Victim?
