Kenneth Dixon was the most neglected running back in his rookie season. When he touched the football good things happened. The problem is the Louisiana Tech star only got 88 carries. Even when he got things rolling, he did not get many chances in the Baltimore Ravens pass happy offense.
Dixon missed the first four weeks of the season. It took him a while to get back into football shape and to restore his confidence. I am not discounting this. That is not an excuse however for ignoring the most intriguing player on the roster, once he was back to full strength.
