Eric H. Coyle (born October 26, 1963) is an American former professional football player who was a center in the National Football League (NFL).
Coyle was born and raised in Longmont, Colorado and played scholastically at Longmont High School.[1] He played college football at Colorado,[2] where he was honored by the Associated Press as a third-team All-American.[3]
After going undrafted, Coyle signed with the Washington Redskins as a replacement player during the 1987 NFLPA strike.[1] He played three games in 1987, and signed with the team in 1988, but spent the entire season on injured reserve.
In January 2018, 30 years after Super Bowl XXII, the Redskins awarded Super Bowl rings to 26 replacement players, including Coyle.[4]
