Dai'Jean Dixon WR Nicholls Scouting Report

Strengths

• Balanced, savvy route runner with top field awareness, setting up and selling routes beautifully.
• Has good body strength to squirm out of tackles with the coordination to maneuver his frame between defenders.
• Strong runner with the ball with enough agility to make defenders miss in the open field.
• Generally reliable receiver capable of making difficult catches in traffic over the middle or one on one down the sideline.
• Does a nice job locating and tracking deep passes and is a legitimate vertical threat. Willing to go up and attack the ball.
• Good effort and technique as a blocker for his size. Can beat the press with elusiveness or physical contact. Runs crisp routes with sharp cuts.
• Does not possess top breakaway speed, though he's rarely caught from behind.
• Often used on deep routes, getting separation down the sideline or over the middle on crossing routes by extending his arms rather than pure speed.

Weaknesses

• Not a burner or consistent vertical threat. Has a lanky frame and will be overmatched physically by most cornerbacks in the NFL. Needs to be more competitive in tight coverage.
• Does not always use his hands to secure deep throws, allowing the ball into his pads and chest.
