About Dj
Dj was named MVP of the 2005 SEC Championship Game after passing for 112 yards and two touchdowns and running for another score. The Bulldogs' victory concluded one of the most efficient and productive seasons for a quarterback in Georgia’s history, with him completing 55 percent of his passes for 2,588 yards and 24 touchdowns with only five interceptions.

After graduation, Dj played four seasons with the Atlanta Falcons.

Most recently, he's been a sports analyst and co-host of the Sports Zone Friday Night on WSB-TV. He was co-host of the Atlanta Falcons post game show on 790 The Zone.

Special Olympics has always been dear to Dj's heart. His two brothers Xavier and Nicholas have Fragile X Syndrome, a genetic condition that causes a range of developmental problems including learning disabilities.

Dj and his wife Portia have a son Mekhi, 2, and daughter Milan, 4.
