Ryan Dinwiddie (born 27 November 1980[1][2]) is a professional Canadian football quarterback currently with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the CFL. Dinwiddie was a three-year starter at Boise State from 2001 to 2003, and one of the most prolific passers in college football history. In 2003, he passed for 4,031 yards, 28 touchdowns, and only 5 interceptions. Dinwiddie's record NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division I-A) for career passing efficiency with a mark of 168.9 was broken in 2007 by Colt Brennan's career 169.25. Dinwiddie graduated from Elk Grove High School in Elk Grove, California.

[edit] 2007 season

After an injury to Blue Bombers starting quarterback Kevin Glenn in the 4th quarter of the CFL East Division Final on November 18, 2007, Ryan was pressed into action. He made his first CFL start for the Blue Bombers against the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the 2007 Grey Cup, won by Saskatchewan 23 to 19. Dinwiddie gave up a Grey Cup record 3 interceptions to James Johnson.[1]

Ryan Dinwiddie is considered to be the greatest quarterback in the history of Boise State football. His leadership and on-field performance is one of the reasons for the continued success of Boise State football. He went undrafted and signed with the Chicago Bears where he was cut and is now in the CFL.
