Kyle Kramer: podcast appearances and interviews

Kyle Kramer, born on January 12, 1967, is a former professional football player who played as a defensive back in the National Football League. He played for the Cleveland Browns in 1989 after being selected by the team in the fifth round of the 1989 NFL draft. During his professional career, he contributed on special teams and recorded his first NFL interception in a game against Minnesota. His career was cut short due to a career-ending injury sustained during the Hall of Fame Game in 1990, and he remained with the Browns until 1991.

Kramer played college football for the Bowling Green Falcons, where he was a four-year letter winner and a three-year starter at safety. He received several honors, including being a two-time All-Mid-American Conference First-Team selection and earning All-American honorable mention during his last two seasons. As a senior, he served as team co-captain and was named the Falcons' Most Valuable Player after leading the team with 143 tackles, which ranked fifth in the MAC. Over his college career, he accumulated 399 tackles, making it the third-highest total in Bowling Green history at the time. He was also recognized for his academic achievements by being named to the Academic All-MAC Team twice and studied Bio Pre-Med.

Kramer has been honored for his achievements both in athletics and his high school community. He was inducted into the Bowling Green Hall of Fame in 2011 and into the Kettering Fairmont High School Hall of Fame in 2020, where he was recognized for earning six varsity letters in football and track. He was notably the first graduate of Kettering Fairmont High School to play in the NFL.
