- Fast and agile, Dickerson sticks to receivers and closes on the ball.
- Closes to the ball quite well and possesses the hands to snatch throws away from his frame.
- Has a nice blend of length, speed, and quickness. He’s at his best mirroring routes underneath, showing fluid movement skills and the ability to change directions on a dime.
