Dalton Knecht is a 24-year-old American football player who currently plays as a linebacker for the New York Jets of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the Jets in the seventh round (254th overall) of the 2022 NFL Draft.
Knecht played college football at the University of South Dakota, where he was a four-year starter and two-time First Team All-Missouri Valley Football Conference selection. He finished his collegiate career with 318 tackles, 23.5 tackles for loss, 10.5 sacks, six interceptions, and two forced fumbles.
Knecht has quickly become a fan favorite in New York due to his hard-hitting style of play and his infectious personality. He has been praised by his teammates and coaches for his work ethic and leadership.
On August 22, 2023, Knecht made a highlight-reel tackle on Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb during the Jets’ preseason opener. The tackle went viral on social media and helped to raise Knecht’s profile even further.
Knecht is expected to play a significant role for the Jets in 2023. He is currently listed as the backup middle linebacker behind C.J. Mosley, but he could see more playing time if Mosley is injured or if the Jets decide to use a more rotational approach at the linebacker position.
