Timothy Gene Vogler (born December 20, 1956, in Troy, Ohio) is a retired American football guard who played in the National Football League for the Buffalo Bills. He played college football at Ohio State University. [1]

Vogler was not selected in the 1979 NFL Draft, but signed with the Bills later that year. [2] Initially a reserve, he became a full-time starter with the Bills by 1985, when he started 14 games. [2] Although he also filled in at center on occasion, [3] Vogler spent much of the next four seasons as Buffalo's starter at right guard. [2] [4] Vogler suffered a knee injury that forced him to miss the Bills' run to the 1989 AFC Championship. [5] After knee surgery during the off-season, [6] Vogler's Buffalo career ended after the 1989 preseason when he was placed on the physically unable to perform list. [7]
