Georgia Tech RB Jonathan Dwyer 2009 College Football Interview with 2010 NFL Draft Quotes

Jonathan Dwyer, junior tailback at Georgia Tech, could be competing in his final collegiate game this evening when he and his Yellow Jacket teammates take on Iowa in the Orange Bowl.

Targeted as no later than a second-round pick by the pundits, Dwyer will decide after the bowl game if he will forgo his senior season and enter the 2010 NFL Draft.

Last week, Dwyer answered some quick questions via email which follow below:

FRD: My first question is about the ACC championship, what was it like to get to play for the championship and on top of that have such an impact like you did even scoring the game winning TD?

Dwyer: It was a memorable game that I will never forget. It was probably the best ACC championship in history with talented players on each side. Scoring the game winning touchdown I couldn't have done without my offensive line and Anthony Allen for a key block to spring me loose.

FRD: Coming out of high school, did you imagine you would be playing in this type of old school offense with the triple threat that you guys have? Or would you have gone to a school where you are the dominate runner?

Dwyer: No I had no idea that I would be running the triple option. I think the triple threat helps everyone out because the defense can't just key on one guy. It would be cool to be the main guy, but like I said I enjoy being a part of the best backfield in the country.

FRD: What are your thoughts going into the Orange Bowl with Iowa? Pat Angerer is a stud at LB how do you feel about this match up?

Dwyer: It's going to be a big game. Iowa is very good on defense and got a great LB and DE. I think its going to be a fun match up and game to be a part of.

FRD: How has your schedule been with such a break between games? How are you staying in game mode?

Dwyer: There is no reason not to stay in game mode. This is the biggest game of my college career. I know my teammates are ready and we better show up to play a good team like Iowa.

FRD: You've recently said you were going to submit your paperwork to see where you are in the NFL radar, have you put any more thought into entering the draft?

Dwyer: Yes there has been thought but no decision yet. I have to talk more with coach Johnson, my parents and my high school coaches Derek Cook, Irv Sigler and Richard Norman.

FRD: Has coach Johnson addressed entering the draft with you and given you his thoughts/advice?

Dwyer: Yes he has. He wants the best for us and he is giving us the most info he can get.
