Douglas John Riesenberg (born July 22, 1965 in Carroll, Iowa and graduated high school in Moscow, Idaho) is a former American football offensive tackle in the National Football League for the New York Giants and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He started in Super Bowl XXV. In high school he was an all-state football player on both offense and defense, an all-state basketball player, and a three time state champion in the discus. After being heavily recruited by colleges from coast to coast, Riesenberg attended the University of California, Berkeley to study electrical engineering and computer science. He later attended Oregon State University to further his engineering studies. He coached offensive line at Redwood High School (Larkspur) (helping the Giants to win MCAL titles in 1998 and 2000, also serving as the offensive coordinator for the latter) for four years at Corvallis High School, and two years at Philomath High School. He now works as a math teacher and offensive lineman coach at Crescent Valley High School.
