Dillon Gordon (born September 2, 1993) is an American former professional football player who was an offensive tackle in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the LSU Tigers, and was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent in 2016.
Gordon began attending Louisiana State University in 2012 and played in 13 games as a freshman, starting none. As a freshman, he played on offense, as a blocking right end, and on special teams. The following year, as a sophomore, he started 12 games and played in all 13, leading all LSU tight ends with six catches for 88-yards. He returned in 2014 and started all 13 regular season contests, but was mainly used as a blocking tight end, paving the way for Leonard Fournette. He returned as the starting tight end for the third consecutive season and played until he injured his achilles in Week 3. He attempted to return in Week 7 against the Florida Gators, but injured his achilles again, this time ending his season. He applied to the NCAA for a hardship waiver to play a fifth-year but was ultimately denied.[1]
