National Football League

Pre-draft

Prior to the draft, it was reported that Stenavich struggled with speed pass-rushers and would possibly move inside to guard at the professional level. [1]

Carolina Panthers

After completing his career at the University of Michigan, Stenavich was not selected in the 2006 NFL draft. Within hours of the draft, Stenavich was signed by the Carolina Panthers. After pre-season training, Stenavich was released.

Green Bay Packers

Stenavich was signed to the Green Bay Packers practice squad during the 2006–2007 season. He re-signed with the Packers as a reserve/future free agent, January 1, 2007. The Packers designated Stenavich eligible for play in NFL Europa in 2007 and he was drafted in the first round by the Amsterdam Admirals. He returned to the Packers following the NFL Europe season, but was released as part of the team's final roster cuts before the 2007–2008 season.

Dallas Cowboys

On May 14, 2008, Stenavich was signed by the Dallas Cowboys. He was released on August 29 to allow guard Larry Allen to re-sign and retire a Cowboy.

Houston Texans

Three days after his release from the Cowboys, Stenavich was signed to the practice squad of the Houston Texans on September 1, 2008. He spent the 2009 season on the team's practice squad as well, and was re-signed to a future contract on January 5, 2010. On September 4, 2010, Stenavich was cut by the Texans [2]

Coaching career

Michigan

At the conclusion of his playing career, Stenavich moved on to coaching. In 2011, he joined the Michigan staff as a strength and conditioning intern.

In 2012, Stenavich remained on staff as an offensive graduate assistant coach.

Northern Arizona

In 2014, Stenavich was offensive line coach at Northern Arizona University.

Stenavich was hired by San Jose State in February 2015 to be offensive line coach under Ron Caragher. [3] San Jose State fired Caragher after the 2016 season.

San Francisco 49ers

In 2017, Stenavich joined Curt Mallory's staff at Indiana State for a brief time before being named assistant offensive line coach for the San Francisco 49ers.

Green Bay Packers

On January 18, 2019, Stenavich was hired by the Green Bay Packers as their offensive line coach under head coach Matt LaFleur.

On March 1, 2021, Stenavich was promoted to offensive line/run game coordinator.

In 2021, Stenavich's unit dealt with the loss of many key players. Star offensive tackle David Bakhtiari played just one half of football throughout the entire season, while his replacement, All-Pro lineman Elgton Jenkins, was lost to a season-ending knee injury in Week 11. Rookie center Josh Myers left a Week 6 game with a knee injury and did not return until the playoffs, and starting right tackle Billy Turner was lost to a knee injury during their Week 14 matchup. For their penultimate regular season game against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17, the Packers' starting offensive line consisted of, from left to right, former undrafted free agent Yosh Nijman, 2020 sixth-round pick Jon Runyan Jr., former undrafted rookie free agent Lucas Patrick, rookie fourth-round pick Royce Newman, and free-agent signing Dennis Kelly. Despite the injuries, quarterback Aaron Rodgers was sacked on just 5.3% of his dropbacks, and won the NFL MVP award for the second consecutive season, while running backs Aaron Jones and A. J. Dillon both had 750-yard seasons.

On January 31, 2022, Stenavich was promoted to offensive coordinator following the departure of Nathaniel Hackett who was hired as the head coach of the Denver Broncos. [4]

Stenavich and his wife, Katie, have four children together.
