membership of the M Club, Marquette University\u2019s Athletic Hall of Fame.\u00a0 Earlier this week, the University announced that Dilweg is one of seven members of this year\u2019s class who will officially be inducted into the M Club on Saturday, May 20.<\/p>\n<p>Dilweg enrolled at Marquette in the fall of 1922, and starred in football, basketball, and track during his time as a Marquette athlete.\u00a0 Among other honors, he was the first Hilltopper (as the school\u2019s teams were known in his era) to be named a first-team All-American football player.\u00a0 In 1924, after two years in the college, he enrolled in the law school where he continued to participate in varsity athletics.\u00a0 During his third year of law school, having exhausted his collegiate eligibility, he played for the Milwaukee Badgers of the National Football League.<\/p>\n<p>The Badgers folded after the 1926 season, and Dilweg joined the Green Bay Packers, for whom he starred through the 1934 season.\u00a0 During his years with the Packers he played on three NFL championship teams and was named a first-team All-NFL End five times.\u00a0 After his career with the Packers, he practiced law in Brown County, Wisconsin and served in the United States Congress.<\/p>\n<p>There is nothing new about Dilweg being overlooked for a hall-of-fame.\u00a0 Many historians of the early NFL view Dilweg as the best player from the league\u2019s formative era not yet inducted into the National Football League Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.<\/p>\n<p>A more detailed examination of Dilweg\u2019s career in
