2014 NFL Mock Draft New York Jets: Prospect Dixon Twins, Northwest Missouri State

Brandon Dixon, Northwest Missouri State
DGGA Scouting Report
 
The Breakdown:
 
  • He has good size and length...
  • He has good leaping ability...
  • He has great hands, catches the ball at it's highest point...
  • His ability to track the ball gives him that ball-hawk ability...
  • He is a man press cover corner...
  • He is physical at the point of attack...
  • He has good hip work to adjust and turn up field in a fluid motion without losing ground... 
  • His ability to maintain his back pedal is impressive...
  • He has the speed to run with mostly anyone...
  • His tenacity is exciting... 
  • He is tough and aggressive... 
  • He uses his hands well in bump n run coverage...
  • He can get turnovers with his excellent athleticism...
 
The Overview:
The only knock on Brandon Dixon is that he played in Division III league... Other than that he has all the intangibles to build upon at the next level... Could eventually evolve into a shutdown man press corner in the NFL... He needs to learn how to play off-man, & play in space but nowadays teams have a harder time finding a man up type player like Brandon that loves to press at the line of scrimmage... Sleeper Pick Day 3

 The Overview:

Like his twin brother, Brian is another man-press cover corner that excels in bump n run coverage... Brian is known as an open field tackler... He has also an asset as a gunner in special teams... Has good awareness knowing where the ball is at all times, and utilizes his good hands to scoop and score on a few occasions... Like his brother he would do better to learn how to play off-man coverage as at this level they will have to play many different coverages... Sleeper Pick Day 3
