Share

With the announcement that linebacker Miles Burris agreed to a contract Friday, the Raiders now have only two draft picks left to sign -- Tony Bergstrom and Juron Criner

Burriss (6-2, 236), was selected in the fourth-round (129th overall). The two-time All-Mountain West Conference first-team selection at San Diego State led the Aztecs in tackles last season.

He finished 2011 with 78 stops, including 46 solo tackles, and 19.5 tackles for loss. Burris added eight sacks and three fumble recoveries as a senior.

As a junior, Burriss led the Mountain West Conference with 9.5 sacks, the seventh-highest single-season total in program history. He also led the team with 80 tackles and was named the 2010 San Diego State Student-Athlete of the Year.

Burris was a two-time all-Metropolitan League selection at Northern California's Granite Bay High. His father Jim played football at Oregon State.
