Clint Kriewaldt (born March 16, 1976) is an American football linebacker who is currently a free agent. He was originally drafted by the Detroit Lions in the sixth round of the 1999 NFL Draft. He played college football at Wisconsin-Stevens Point.
Professional career
His first four seasons in the NFL were spent with the Detroit Lions, where he spent most of his time as a backup and on special teams. He played for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 2003-2007.
On February 22, 2008 the Pittsburgh Steelers released him.
Kriewaldt's career is reportedly in jeopardy due to a neck injury.
In the media
Kriewaldt became a bit of a folk hero in his rookie season among listeners of WDFN in Detroit, despite (or likely due to) his third-string status. The staff recorded a parody of the Christmas standard "We Wish You a Merry Christmas", which went:
"We wish you a merry Kriewaldt, We wish you a merry Kriewaldt, We wish you a merry Kriewaldt..."
followed by Kriewaldt himself singing the line:
"And I hope that I play."
