Great guy. He deserves it. Very happy for him.
I like how he's secured a spot on the company commercials...I have the privilege of calling Danny a very good friend. As high character a guy as I’ve been around. Every ounce of this award is 100% deserved.
He would literally give you the last he had of anything if it helped you along at all that day.
Proud of Danny and very happy for him.
Agreed. Add Jim Collins to the list as well.I first met and talked with Dan Conley during his freshman year and have had the honor of speaking with him over the years. In my opinion Dan Conley along with Nate Helmsley were two of the very best ever to play linebacker at Syracuse University.
Congratulations, Dan on receiving this award,you've definitely earned it. Thank you for coming to Syracuse University to play the game of football.
GREAT football player. Sure thing in NFL had he not been injured.
I agree with this. Great linebacker, better person. Still sick about seeing him injure his knee the first time. Believe it was his frosh season in a night game at Maryland.Yep when he was healthy he was the best LB I have seen at SU in my 35 years following the program.
Back in the day when tv coverage was very limited, I had to drive from my then home in Middle Georgia to extreme South Georgia and rent a motel room to pick up a Syracuse-FSU game that was covered by a Tallahasse tv station. Don't remember too much about the game except that Dan Conley put on an awesome performance cementing his position in my pantheon of great Syracuse players. Oh yeah, and I remember getting a speeding ticket driving home.Dan Conley to Receive 2019 Zunic Award - Syracuse University Athletics
