rangy Notre Dame linebacker whose value was all about speed, versatility, and special-teams grit
Filer was known as a quick, rangy linebacker for his size, and Notre Dame credited him with 32 career tackles, 1.5 sacks, and a forced fumble, with most of his impact coming on special teams and in high-effort, role-player duties.[5][7] He also played in 42 of Notre Dame’s 44 games since 2008, which points to a dependable, durable contributor before an ACL injury ended his Irish career in 2011.[7][1][3] If you want an athlete who brings intensity, chase speed, and depth-value rather than headline production, he fits that profile well.[5][7]
