Dallas Neil (born September 30, 1976 in Great Falls, Montana) is a former American football punter and tight end for the Atlanta Falcons and the New York Jets. He went to college at the University of Montana where he played with the Montana Grizzlies football team as both a tight end and punter. He completed his master's degree in May 2000, and founded a business, Kinetic Sports Interactive.

However, in a pre-season game Neil injured his ankle and was placed on Injured Reserve on August 27, 2002. In 2003 Neil became a free agent before signing with the New York Jets. He was waived in early 2004, ending his NFL career.[1]
