Who is Ryan Dinwiddie?

Ryan Dinwiddie is a retired professional Canadian football quarterback who is currently a member of the coaching staff of the Montreal Alouettes.

Dinwiddie was a three-year starter at Boise State from 2001 to 2003, and one of the most prolific passers in college football history. In 2003, he passed for 4,031 yards, 28 touchdowns, and only 5 interceptions. Dinwiddie's record NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision for career passing efficiency with a mark of 168.9 was broken in 2007 by Colt Brennan's career 169.25. Dinwiddie graduated from Elk Grove High School in Elk Grove, California.

Dinwiddie is considered, by some, to be the greatest quarterback in the history of Boise State football. His leadership and on-field performance was one of the reasons for the continued success of Boise State football during his tenure. After turning pro, he went undrafted and signed with the Chicago Bears, however he was cut from their training camp. Dinwiddie later went on to play professionally for the Hamburg Sea Devils of NFL Europe, and has also played for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League.
