Born and raised in Woodland, California, Didion played college football at Oregon State University under head coach Dee Andros and was a consensus All-American.
NFL career

He was traded in January 1971 by new head coach George Allen to the Saints in the deal which brought quarterback Billy Kilmer to the "Over the Hill Gang."
