Mark Gerald Tauscher (born June 17, 1977 in Marshfield, Wisconsin) is an American football Offensive Tackle who currently plays for the Green Bay Packers of the NFL.

College career

Despite being named All-State in football after his junior and senior seasons in high school, Tauscher only made the University of Wisconsin team as a walk-on in 1995. After seeing little action his first two years, Tauscher earned a letter in 1998 and became a starter at right tackle the following year. He contributed significantly as a blocker to Ron Dayne's Heisman Trophy-winning season in 1999.

Professional career

During the 2000 NFL Draft, Tauscher was selected by the Packers in the seventh round with the 224th choice overall. He became a starter early in his rookie season, when long-time starter Earl Dotson suffered a back injury at Buffalo and since then has played in 66 games (starting 64 of them).

During the second game of the 2002 season, Tauscher suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament and a torn anterior cruciate ligament. As a result, he underwent surgery and missed the rest of the season. He made a successful comeback, however, and has started every game since his return in 2003.

Tauscher is regarded as a very good and consistent, if unspectacular player. He was one of the many unheralded players on the Green Bay offensive line that achieved so much success from 2000 to 2004.
