Check out this video of Connor Dixon. Could he be that tall receiver Ben wants? He seems to run a decent route and the way he jukes guys out and gets YAC is excellent. He is a good blocker as well. If this guy makes the team, watch out.

Pretty impressive moves and hands. I guess my only question is why wasn't he drafted? Oh yeah, pretty good background music.

Looks good. Let's just hope he loses that cursed number.

That's a valid point. If you take an above-average player, he's going to look like a superstar going up against players who will never have a shot at the NFL. But there's something about Dixon I like. He reminds me a little of Hines Ward.
