Professional career
Indianapolis Colts
Dillon went undrafted in 2008, but shortly after the draft, he received a call from the Indianapolis Colts telling him that he had been signed.
Dillon had impressed the Colts, however his season came to an end fast due to an injury. He was placed on injured reserve and was cut by Indianapolis later on that season.
Green Bay Packers
The Green Bay Packers invited Dillon to attend training camp. On September 4, 2010, Dillon was released from the Packers.
Spokane Shock
In 2009, Dillon played arena football for the Spokane Shock of the af2 (the Arena Football League's former minor league). Dillon helped the Shock reach and win ArenaCup X with a victory over the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pioneers, winning 74–27.
Dillon signed with the Shock for the 2010 AFL season. However, while he was on the Packers' roster during training camp, the Shock placed him on its roster as 2010 AFL league exempt.
In early 2011, Dillon re-signed with the Shock.[1]
Chicago Rush
Before the season began, Dillon was traded to the Chicago Rush. In 2011, he caught 96 passes for 1,200 yards and 24 touchdowns.[2]
