veteran Akron linebacker with proven tackle production and steady special-teams value
In the 2007 season, Ray Siler gave Akron a dependable interior linebacker presence, finishing with 18 solo tackles, 9 assisted tackles, 1 forced fumble, and 0 interceptions, while also showing he could step in when the defense needed a smart, experienced hand[1][5][6]. His profile reads like a classic “trust the tape” defender: older, assignment-sound, physical, and steady rather than flashy, with a background that includes a move from defensive back to linebacker and recognition as a team’s most improved special-teams player[2][8]. If you want a tough, system-savvy linebacker who brings reliability and toughness, he fits the bill.
