Damarius Bilbo (born December 3, 1982) is an American football player who played at Georgia Tech as a quarterback and wide receiver from 2001-2005. Damarius was a highly touted player out of high school, where he was named the Dick Butkus Football Network National High School Player of the Year and Mississippi Player of the Year by USA Today and Gatorade. He had a medical redshirt in 2001 (broken thumb) and played backup quarterback in 2002. He was relegated to wide receiver upon Reggie Ball's admittance to the Institute in 2003,[1] but found success at that position, starting all 12 games his senior season and was invited to the Hula Bowl all-star game. Bilbo graduated in 2006 with a degree in management.
He was undrafted in the 2006 NFL Draft, but was signed as a free-agent by the Arizona Cardinals. He was released by the Cardinals in preseason, but immediately signed by the Dallas Cowboys. He was cut from the roster but signed to the practice squad. He helped the Cowboys prepare for their week 4 meeting with the Tennessee Titans by simulating Vince Young in practice. He was cut from the squad in mid-October in favor of ex-Seattle Seahawks Jerheme Urban. He was re-signed to the Cowboys practice squad in mid-December and coach Parcells has plans of moving him to safety due to his athleticism.
