Draft Breakdown has him listed as one of 5 "day two" (second round) running backs. Elliott (Ohio State) and Henry (Alabama) are their only two "day one" (first round) running backs.
DIXON, Kenneth | La Tech | 5’10” | 212
-Productive and instinctual. Dixon’s biggest problem is his relative anonymity; he’s not a darling of the “big media” outlets yet, and as a result, his name isn’t being mentioned among the top running back prospects for the 2016 NFL Draft. Now, that doesn’t mean that Dixon is a complete unknown, as Draft Twitter has been praising his abilities for quite some time. He’s a Curtis Martin-type runner who slashes through the hole and bursts to the second level with a physical and explosive running style. Dixon is averaging 6.3 yards per carry and has already racked up 17 TDs; he just torched North Texas (yes, I know, North Texas) for six TDs on November 7th. He hasn’t faced the most challenging of schedules, but I’m not all that concerned. His tape suggests that he has NFL Sunday skills, likely carving out a role as a member of a running back by committee early in his career.
