Pioneer Pride!

Former William Paterson offensive lineman Dashawn Johnson was one of 28 undrafted players invited to the NFL's Green Bay Packers rookie orientation camp and tryout May 17.

Most recently, Dashawn was added to the roster of the Cleveland Gladiators arena football team, listed as "inactive" serving on the practice squad. The Cleveland Gladiators are part of the Arena Football League and are currently ranked #1 with a 14:1 record. Read more about the Cleveland Gladiators by visiting their website.
 
Johnson was a member of the 2013 All-New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) Second Team, starting in all nine of his appearances at left tackle. The 6-4, 310-pound lineman saw action in 37 games during his four-year career as a Pioneer (2010-13), starting 31 times. He capped his time at WP by participating in the 2014 Dream Bowl Senior Football All-Star Game Jan. 20 in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
 
The last William Paterson football student-athlete to receive an NFL tryout was wide receiver Joel Rivera, who participated in the New York Jets' 2010 camp.
