NFL Combine: Dillard seeks a job
Nebraska linebacker Phillip Dillard, a Jenks High School graduate, comes across as a guy. Says he’ll come across as a nice guy when talking with NFL officials at the Combine.
But on the field, Dillard plays mad. “Whenever I step out on that field, I take it personal,” Dillard said. “Like the other side is trying to show us out.”
Dillard said he didn’t take it personal against OU last season, when the Huskers beat the Sooners 10-3 and Dillard had eight tackles, a sack and an interception.
Dillard said he was recruited by OU, but “I wasn’t recruited as hard, because I was an in-state guy. That’s the way it seemed.”
Dillard is projected as a late-round pick.
