I don't think he was really a pro cornerback but in today's game could have been a useful safety or positional player in some specialized role. I believe he was a pretty big guy but too slow for an NFL corner, maybe some sort of hybrid coverage linebacker for tight ends or running backs out in the pattern. Too bad. Wasted talent. And saddened to hear of his early passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tibor75 Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 He was a rookie during the Super Bowl year - I think in videos of John Taylor's TD, you can see him flash across the screen. Not 100% sure of that, but no way in hell am I looking up that video again. But not sure why he didn't pan out. Fulcher, Wilcots, Bussey I remember got most of the safety playing time afterwards. Was he supposed to be a corner? Even after Eric Thomas tore his knee and Lewis Billups started stalking Rex Chapman's sister, I don't remember Dixon being considered to play corner.

I_C_Deadpeople Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 What a Top 5 bust draft overall for the league that year though. Has to be one of the worst ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be one of the worst ever. Drafted right after him? Sterling Sharpe and Tim Brown. Fine, the Bengals didn't need a WR. Next defensive back right after Ricky Dixon? Terry McDaniel. Yep, grade A bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
