Terrance Gilbert Dillon (August 18, 1941 – May 28, 1964) was a defensive back in the National Football League (NFL).
[1] On May 28, 1964, Terry Dillon was working on a bridge construction project 25 miles (40 km) west of Missoula when part of the temporary decking gave way and he fell 50 feet (15 m) into the swift-running Clark Fork River.
Witnesses said Dillon, a strong swimmer, started swimming for shore, fighting the current, but disappeared after traveling about 200 yards (180 m).
His body was found on July 17 by a fisherman about 17 miles (27 km) downstream from the bridge.
