PLAYER ANALYSIS
Dixon is a perimeter corner with the size and athleticism to work in multiple coverages. From press, he’s fairly sticky in the early stages and does a good job of anticipating breaks when playing off-man. However, he lacks top-end speed to stay connected to vertical threats as the route stretches out. Dixon needs to protect his leverage more effectively and allow fewer opportunities for explosive plays over the top. He does use his size and efficient burst for on-ball chances, though. He won’t stand out in any one area but is good enough in most to compete for a spot as a backup.
