KJ Dillon

KJ Dillon really stepped up his game in his senior season, especially as fellow secondary teammate Karl Joseph suffered a season-ending knee injury in just the fourth game of the 2015 campaign.

From a statistical standpoint, Dillon recorded 45 total tackles with 7.5 tackles for a loss. He also had two interceptions and a forced fumbles.

But where Dillon really stands out is in his leadership intangibles. He was able to fire up his defensive unit and keep morale high, even during a losing stretch in October. Dillon participated in the Senior Bowl, where he became an even more attractive prospect to NFL scouts.
