A closer look at Kenneth Dixon, an NFL draft prospect the Redskins could select

Louisiana Tech running back Kenneth Dixon had an incredibly productive college career. The 5-foot-10, 213 pound back had 5,452 all-purpose yards and 87 touchdowns in his four years in college. While production isn’t everything for draft prospects, it certainly doesn’t hurt to have huge numbers like those.

As a runner, Dixon plays much faster than he timed at the combine. He ran a slow 4.58 40-yard dash in Indianapolis in February, but in my opinion his play speed is much faster than that. He is a fluid athlete who cuts efficiently, making defenders miss without losing much speed.
