3. Family and football
Dye and his girlfriend, Kenzie Dunmore, an All-American sprinter at Oregon, welcomed a baby boy on April 7. Dunmore was on the 2017 4x400 relay team that won the NCAA title with a school-record time of 3:23.13.
When asked by a reporter via video conference about the ways his life would change after being drafted, Dye said that life "life has changed already" with the arrival of his son.
"We've been doing that whole new parent thing, and we've been having a great time with it, getting our sleeping schedules down. Life is changing," Dye said. "This whole month has been a new adventure, and I'm looking forward to it because that's what life is about – new adventures and new journeys."
4. Shares high school alma mater with former Viking
Dye hails from Norco, California, a suburb of Los Angeles.
He attended Norco High School, where he was rated as a three-star safety by ESPN, Rivals and 247Sports. As a senior, he led the team with 105 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss and four interceptions in 11 games.
