Tim Dwight, the strikingly speedy fan favorite kick returner/wide receiver of the late 90s and early 2000s, has strategically removed himself from the NFL zeitgeist. A favorite son of Iowa, Dwight still hosts a non-profit youth football camp in Iowa City—which this June celebrated its 15th anniversary—and he occasionally watches some playoff games, but that’s it.
Dwight could have lived off his sliver of cult-like fame if he wanted to. Just 5' 8", he juked and shimmied his way past defenders and into the hearts of Falcons fans (and later Chargers fans) universally in awe of his fearlessness.
