Isaiah Emmanuel Wynn, an American professional football offensive guard, was born on December 9, 1995. Currently, he is aligned with the Miami Dolphins, an esteemed team of the National Football League (NFL). Despite his outstanding career in professional American football, Wynn is also known for his remarkable performance at his alma mater, the University of Georgia, where he played college football.

During his years at Georgia, Wynn impressively played 11 games for the Georgia Bulldogs during his first year, taking the field as a true freshman. In the ensuing seasons, 2015 and 2016, he proved his resilience and determination by starting 25 of 26 games, and even made 23 consecutive starts before an unexpected injury compelled him to miss a game against Louisiana. Despite this, Wynn’s commitment was unwavering, coming in strong for the 2017 season even after missing several practice games due to illness. Consequently, his exceptional performance in the games led to him being named a Second-team All-American on December 11, 2017.

Looking beyond his outstanding football career, Wynn reflects immense intellect off the field as well. He majored in human development and family sciences during his years in college, coupling his physical robustness with mental fortitude.

Wynn’s professional football career took flight when he was chosen by the New England Patriots with the 23rd overall pick during the first round of the 2018 NFL draft. This selection was a decisive event, acquired from a trade that sent Brandin Cooks to the Los Angeles Rams.

In the second game of the preseason, Wynn experienced a setback in his first professional season when he suffered a torn Achilles, forcing him to miss the entire 2018 season. However, even in Wynn’s absence, the Patriots went on to win the Super Bowl LIII against the Los Angeles Rams with a 13-3 victory.

Big things were expected of Wynn in the 2019 season with him being named the Patriots starting left tackle. Nevertheless, in the second week, he suffered a toe injury during the Patriots’ overwhelming 43-0 win against the Miami Dolphins. Because of this, he was placed on injured reserve, being designated for a return on October 30that year. He recommenced practicing and was activated again on November 19.

The 2020 season began promisingly, with Wynn playing as the Patriots’ left tackle. However, he saw a positional change in week 6 when he started as a left guard for the first time in his professional career. Despite this, Wynn’s season was cut short due to a severe knee injury in week 11, which led to him being placed on injured reserve once again.

In 2021, the Patriots exercised the fifth-year option on Wynn’s contract on May 3, securing a $10.413 million salary for him in the 2022 season. With this, he was moved to right tackle, consequently missing three games after suffering a foot injury in Week 11 and was placed on injured reserve on December 17.

In May 2023, Wynn signed a year-long contract with the Miami Dolphins. Subsequently, he was named the Dolphins starting left guard, only to be placed on injured reserve again on October 24. On March 18, 2024, Wynn re-signed with the Dolphins. However, due to a physical inability to perform (PUP), he began the season on reserves after being placed on the active/PUP list on July 18, 2024.
