PLAYER ANALYSIS
Used as a 3-4 outside backer at times and as a defensive end when Alabama goes to it's even front, Dickson has adequate skills as a pass rusher, but is average to below average against the run. Dickson doesn't feature the explosive, athletic traits to be a pass rushing specialist and might not have enough strength at the point of attack to be an every down defensive end.
