    Dillion had an excellent junior year at Washington after transferring from Junior College. He amassed 2,185 all-purpose yards (1,555 rushing, 273 receiving, and 357 on kickoff returns). His 22 rushing touch downs tied a PAC-10 record held by O.J. Simpson and Marcus Allen. Plus he led the nation with 23 total touch downs. At 6-2, 225 lbs, Dillion is a punishing runner and has the prefect size to become a star NFL running back. He also possesses a quick first step and open field speed. Since Dillon is a J/C transfer, he has only faced top college competition for one season, therefore Dillon will need some more experience before he can become a top NFL back. If Dillon had stayed for his senior year, he would have gained valuable experience, and could possibly have been an early 1st round selection in next year’s draft.
