KJ Dillon
don't know nothing bout this kid
Dillon played his college ball alongside teammate
Karl Joseph, who I wrote about for the site back in late February. When people talk about the West Virginia defense, Joseph's is the first name that usually comes up; and rightfully so. Joseph was an absolute monster throughout his career in Morgantown. But Dillon is a dynamic player in his own right.
Standing at six foot, and weighing in at 210 pounds, Dillon played the spur safety position in the Mountaineer's 3-3 stack scheme during his junior and senior seasons. Dillon was the perfect fit as the spur in Tony Gibson's defense, because of his size and athleticism, which allowed him to be equally effective playing as an extra linebacker near the line of scrimmage, or lining up 20-25 yards deep as a safety. Add in Dillon's ability to play in man coverage against speedy slot receivers, and his ability to blitz against the run and the pass, and you're looking at one of the most versatile defensive playmakers in this year's draft class.
