Though it is Steve Smith Sr. day, rookie runningback Kenneth Dixon spoke to the media. I was able to fit in a question concerning his efforts on the kick return.
“Yes. I will do kick return. I will do anything that is going to help us put this team in position to win,” Dixon said. “It is my first time doing kick return since high school, but I’m very excited to do it. [Special teams coordinator/associate head] coach Jerry [Rosburg] is coaching me up very well to do it. I’m happy to get out here.”
A quick follow up asked if he was on special teams at all in college.
