Many fans believed that Kenneth Dixon could join the likes of Jamal Lewis, Willis McGahee, and Ray Rice among the greatest running backs in Baltimore Ravens history. The incredible production and versatility that he brought with him from his college days at Louisiana Tech would back-up support this thought. Even on tape, Dixon looked like an elusive and smart runner who would be destined to become a bell-cow at the next level.
However, the NFL is an unforgiving sport, and more importantly a business. There’s no time for sympathy and certainly even less for players who can’t develop or hinder the team.
