Jonathan Avery Dwyer (born July 26, 1989) is an American football running back . He was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the sixth round of the 2010 NFL Draft. He has also played for the Arizona Cardinals. He played college football at Georgia Tech.
Dwyer was highly recruited coming out of Kell High School in Marietta, Georgia. He was a four star prospect and many of the top NCAA Division I football programs expressed interest. Dwyer was awarded Georgia's Player of the Year (football). He initially made a soft verbal commitment to the Florida Gators but then decided that he preferred to stay closer to his family and committed to Georgia Tech.
In track, he finished second in the state in the Class AAAAA 100-meter dash as a junior, with a time of 10.81 seconds, the second best time in the state of Georgia, and recorded a 4.48 in the 40 yard dash. He ran a career-best time of 10.70 seconds in the 100 meters at the 2006 GATFXC Coaches Invitational, placing first. He also placed third in the 200 meters at the USATF Region III Championships, with a personal-best time of 21.87 seconds.
After committing to Georgia Tech, Dwyer got plenty of playing time as the backup running back to senior Tashard Choice. He played in all thirteen games during his freshman year. Choice battled leg injuries during the course of the 2007 season, which led to Dwyer rushing for 436 yards on 82 attempts and nine touchdowns. He was named to the ACC All-Freshman Team.
