KENNETH DIXON HIGHLIGHTS

Has a bit of an historian feel to his appreciation of the running backs of the past. Studies the greats and tries to adapt their special abilities to his repertoire. Dixon has the frame and ability to be a workhorse back in the NFL. Has vision and shows patients waiting for holes to develop. He can hit and find creases with the top-end speed to pull away from the pack. Bounces off tacklers and gets great forward lean at the end of his runs. Physical and tough. Dixon takes pride in his pass protection and catching the ball out of the backfield. He shows a knack for jumping out of his cuts and can create in space. He is a solid-second day value at running back with three down ability.
