Chris Dieker

[2] He helped the Salukis to two conference championships, and was the 3rd quarterback in school history to pass the 5,000-yard mark for his career.

With the team's playoff hopes dwindling, Dieker delivered a big win for the Gladiators, scoring 8 touchdowns in a win over the Pittsburgh Power, helping keep the Gladiators' playoff hopes alive.

Dieker was selected by the Beijing Lions in the 2016 CAFL Draft and was the backup to Luke Collis during the 2016 season.

On November 6, 2016, during the first China Bowl, Dieker played wide receiver due to an injury to James Romain.

Dieker caught 9 passes for 107 yards and one touchdown as the Lions beat the Qingdao Clipper by a score of 35–34.
