When the media scrum thronged around running back Boobie Dixon, linebacker Preston Brown began to tease his offensive teammate from across the locker room, loudly questioning why so many reporters would want to talk to the energetic and bullish ball-carrier.
“It’s because I’m moving to middle linebacker,” Dixon fired back. “We have to start stopping some people.”
Dixon laughed the same laugh that can be heard every day before and after practice. The playful running back is always laughing, always affectionately chirping.
While he’s not making such a drastic position switch as to move to middle linebacker, his role may undergo a significant change in the days before the Bills Week Five game versus the Tennessee Titans.
