Profile 

Summary:Dixon is a consistent producer who topped 900 yards four straight seasons in college. He possesses outstanding athletic ability and can also catch passes out of the backfield. Not the biggest running back but has a powerful build. 

Dane Brugler of CBS Sports said Dixon also has a high football IQ as he "runs and reads with decisiveness. Physical when going north-south to keep his feet and gain every inch, giving it all he has on each run. Knows where the chains are and understands situational football. Heady, tough blocker, using his base strength and a mean attitude, identifying blitzers pre-snap."

Stacking up: NFL Media analyst Mike Mayock has consistently ranked Dixon as his fourth-best running back. Fellow analyst Bucky Brooks also has Dixon as the No. 4 prospect at the position. Daniel Jeremiah didn't rank Dixon in his list of the top 50 prospects in the 2016 NFL Draft.

Record setter: Not only does Dixon hold the Louisiana Tech school record for rushing yards and touchdowns, he also holds Arkansas high school state

single-season records of 3,153 yards and 39 touchdowns.
