The Purple Dragon Football program is tradition rich with many outstanding records to prove the point. The above links provide evidence of the successes the program as experienced as well as some of the individual recognition some of the players have received. The Dragon Football Program focuses on team accomplishments so individual records are incomplete and sketchy.
One former Dragon played at the professional level: Shad Meier-TE (Tennessee and New Orleans)
