Opening day countdowns are great. So are player profiles. Here at Musket Fire, we decided to combine them and create a Week 1 countdown-oriented, jersey number-dictated player profile series. Yesterday, we looked at No. 97, Alan Branch. Because today marks 96 days until the New England Patriots open the 2015 regular season, we are profiling No. 96, defensive tackle Sealver Siliga.
A fun fact to start this profile: Siliga’s first name is actually Tupaimoefitpo. Say that ten times fast.
Siliga entered the 2011 NFL Draft as an early entry candidate, but didn’t get selected.
