Drafter Comments

"Dixon has the ability to be a three-down running back in the NFL. While he will most likely begin the season as a change-of-pace back, he’s more talented than his competition in the backfield. Justin Forsett's 2014 season was an outlier compared to the rest of his career, and Javorius Allen, Trent Richardson, and Lorenzo Taliaferro haven’t been extremely productive in their respective careers, either. This season may not see him take full control of the starting role, but starting in 2017 isn’t out of the question at all." -- Joseph Nammour

"I know backs are devalued nowadays (outside of Dallas, apparently), but how Dixon fell to the fourth round of the NFL draft is a mystery to me. He has the tools to be a three-down back, and he runs with a nasty attitude. I think he's better than Buck Allen, and Justin Forsett is entering his age-31 season." -- Austan

"Between 31-year-old Justin Forsett and one of the least efficient running backs last year in Javorious Allen (third-worst Rushing NEP out of all 100-plus rushers), there's room for Kenneth Dixon in Trestman's offense. Dixon is one of the rare players in this draft class capable of both short- and long-term success -- especially in PPR formats, where Trestman's running backs see nearly 22% of the team's targets." -- Tyler
