Used to see him in the quad. He was 5'8". I was 5'8". That's where the similarity ended.

When I was a kid growIng up in Gretna I went to the public golf course on Behrman to play golf by myself (rode my bike there in the good old days). This guy walks up and says they need one person do I want to join them I say sure. It was Eric Martin, Dalton Hilliard, and Frank Warren. Most memorable golf of my life and for a 10-14 year old my feet didn't hit the ground for weeks. Eric was the better golfer of the 3, Dalton was pretty good and Frank Warren stuck to football luckily. All great guys and what a neat thing for them to ask me to join their group.

Somewhere around 1990-ish when he was still playing with the Saints, I happened to run into Dalton at City Park Golf Course in BR (yes, THAT City Park, maybe the shittiest course ever). Very friendly guy. It was the off season and he was just out there taking in 9 holes like any other normal folk would.

I am 5'7 on a good day, and yes, Dalton was just a hair taller than me...but what struck me was the size of dude's thighs. His thighs were about the size of the trunk of a large oak tree. It was then when I realized what made him so good for a little guy. There was a lot of power in those legs.

Tell Dalton next time you see him that they really shafted him on Tecmo Bowl

Christian Okoye had nothing on him
