D. Diedrick won as a player and a coach

DD aka Dahrran Diedrick has experienced one of the most successful careers during his time in the CFL. Not many might remember him now, but he was pivotal to his college team as he led Nebraska to the Rose Bowl Final. Although he would lose the game to Miami, it professed a talent for football in Diedrick. Despite joining the rosters of the mighty Packers and Washington, he never truly found a home in the NFL. This saw him take a shot in the NFL, where he would end up making his name.

After joining Edmonton, he would win the Grey Cup in his debut season in the NFL in 2005. After moving on to Montreal Alouettes, he would add another couple of Grey cups to his name in 2009 and then in 2010. Diedrick would play for the Hamilton Tiger for one year in 2003 after joining the Alouettes one last time before hanging up his boots in 2014. But despite retiring from football, he would add another Grey Cup to his name as a strength coach with Toronto Argonauts in 2017.

Dahrran Diedrick may never have played more than once in the NFL. But his time with his college has made him one of the favorites from Nebraska and then with Montreal in the CFL.
