Long road leads WVU’s Dillon to NFL Draft doorstep
Dana haters gonna hate.
They love to talk about Dana's morale's... hard drinking reputation...
But, there is this...
The day before National Signing Day in 2012, Dillon learned from a hospital bed that he had Type 1 diabetes.
“I was stressing, my mom was stressing, the whole family was stressing,” he said. “I’m like, ‘Oh, man, I’m not going to be able to play football. West Virginia might take my scholarship. I’m not going to be able to go to college. I’ll probably just be a regular guy and get a job.’ ”
Dillon had Proffitt call WVU coach Dana Holgorsen, who had visited Dillon at his home with assistant coach Joe DeForest a month before.
“Here’s what’s going on, but before you send that fax down here for him to sign, I want you to think about and understand what you’re getting into,” Proffitt said.
“I don’t care if he doesn’t play a single down for us,” Holgorsen replied. “We want him here at West Virginia.”
