Share your memories of D. J. Dozier
HERE IS WHAT OTHER METS FANS HAVE TO SAY:

D.J. also played football for the Minnesota Vikings. When I was at a Port St. Lucie Mets game that was in rain delay, he signed a football and a baseball for me. He was a real nice guy. We chatted about 20 minutes. He also seemed to like having fun. The guys used the tarp as a slip and slide.

He was a pretty good running back at Penn State. Should have stuck with football.

If DJ's bat was as big as his ego, maybe he would have gotten a hit, once. He was washed up before he even got started. And to that guy who he signed an autograph for, did he only sign half of his name. He infamous for only signing half of his name, sometimes you would have to hit him up twice for a full autograph. What a stinge.

My son was five years old when he died. The only pro athlete that would visit him before he died was D.J. This goes to show you that you can be a star in other ways than on the field

The person that several of you are describing is not the DJ Dozier I was lucky to have as a friend at PSU. He was kind, sharing and always there for a friend when he was needed!

He also played for the Detroit Lions. He was Barry Sanders' back up, and in 1991 that was like being Cal Ripken, Jr.'s back up.

DJ had 8 touchdowns for the 1987 Vikings! 5 Rushing, 2 Receiving, and one rushing in the playoffs!What an ugly swing this guy had though. I guess being a backup RB for the Lions during the Barry years can get frustrating.

As a life long Mets, and Vikings fan, I thought the stars had aligned when DJ Dozier played for both my favorite teams. I was very disappointed he didn't work out for either, especially for the Vikings where he was a 1st round draft pick. It's too bad his natural athletic ability didn't translate to hitting.

The only memory I have of DJ was that when he was first coming up...when I was still young...I remember This Week In Baseball doing a special on him. I got me really excited as a 7 (8??) year old.

Dozier was on my fantasy football team in 1987 as a Vikings rookie; scored some big TDs for me. When he scored for Penn State in the national championship game against Miami, all he did was kneel down for a moment and then give the ball to the referee. None of that showboat garbage. A sharp contrast to those obnoxious Miami players.
