Adam James Lingner (born November 2, 1960) is an American former professional football player who was an offensive lineman for 13 seasons in the National Football League (NFL) with the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills. He played college football for the Illinois Fighting Illini. Lingner was selected by the Chiefs in the ninth round of the 1983 NFL draft, and was the lowest draft pick to make their squad. He was a member of Buffalo's teams in four consecutive Super Bowl games: Super Bowl XXV, Super Bowl XXVI, Super Bowl XXVII and Super Bowl XXVIII.
Adam Lingner is most known for being the long-snapper on the "wide right" field goal by Scott Norwood in Super Bowl XXV. Lingner is also one of only 22 players to play in all of the Buffalo Bills Super Bowl appearances in the early 1990s. 12
