Dylan Mitchell Donahue (born August 20, 1992) is an American football linebacker who is currently a free agent. He played college football at West Georgia. He was drafted by the New York Jets in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL Draft.[1]

Professional career

Donahue played at Palomar College and West Georgia before he was drafted by the New York Jets in the fifth round, 181st overall, in the 2017 NFL Draft.[2] On May 23, 2017, the Jets signed Donahue to four-year, $2.6 million contract.[3][4] On October 1, 2017, during Week 4 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Donahue injured his elbow after blocking a punt.
