Veteran Syracuse DB, steady, physical, and trusted in the back end
Eric Coley brings the kind of old-school reliability coaches love: a 6-2, 200-pound defensive back with 43 career games, 93 tackles, seven passes defended, and an interception for Syracuse. In the 2022 season, he appeared in all 12 games, made six starts at safety, logged 26 tackles and three pass breakups, and even earned Syracuse’s Pat Miller Award for being a “total-package” teammate. His best fit is a defense that values experience, toughness, and smart, assignment-sound play over flash.
