Ben Leber
The NFL stands for “National Football League” however, for many in the game, it is also known to mean “not for long.” Not only is it difficult to make it to the NFL, but to last more than a few seasons and be successful is rare and few and far between. Case in point, Ben Leber, played 10 seasons in the NFL as a linebacker for the San Diego Chargers, Minnesota Vikings and St. Louis Rams from 2002 to 2011. During his career, Ben was considered a versatile and cerebral player who carved out his niche as a leader both on and off the field. He finished his career with 496 tackles, 24 sacks, five interceptions, 12 forced fumbles in 143 games played (source: NFL.com).
Since retiring from pro football in 2012, Ben has made the transition to broadcasting and currently works as a color commentator/analyst for FOX College Sports. He also does assorted NFL analyst work for a variety of radio and media outlets including KFAN FM 100.3 in Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota.
We were able to catch up with Ben last month (April 2014) to discuss his background, football and post-football endeavors and are pleased to present this interview.
