RJ Dill Rutgers Scarlet Knights Game Worn & Signed Red & Silver Nike Alpha Cleats

Description

RJ Dill is a free agent offensive tackle, most recently playing for the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League. Dill has also been a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars, New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs. The talented offensive tackle played his college football at Maryland and Rutgers.

Dill played in every game as a redshirt freshman for the Terps, starting eight games at right tackle -– including the final five. Dill made the decision to transfer from the University of Maryland after the 2011 season (the team went 2-10 under new head coach Randy Edsall) to take advantage of the NCAA rule allowing players earning their degree to go to another school with a graduate program unavailable at their current school. He had no shortage of suitors, but decided to finish his career at Rutgers, not only because their New Jersey campus is only a couple of hours drive from his hometown of Mechanicsburg, Pa., but also because of the general program fit. That decision certainly made his new coaches happy, but also thrilled his teammates -– especially quarterbacks and running backs he creates holes for off the edge.

He took that experience into the 2010 season, starting the first three games against right tackle before moving to the left side for the remainder of the year to take over for the injured Justin Gilbert. Dill moved back to right tackle for his junior year, starting all 12 games on that side of the line. As a senior, Dill once again started every game for Rutgers at right tackle. Dill became a rock along the Co-Big East Champions’ offensive front. The mountainous 6’7 310 pound Dill protected the blindside of developing young QB Gary Nova and did it well. With the talents he possesses and experience coming from 2 different pro-style college systems, Dill should eventually find a permanent spot with an NFL team.
