Dixon had another NFL tryout, and this time he impressed enough to earn himself a deal. The former Ohio State wide receiver signed a contract with the Dallas Cowboys, his agent Jason Bernstein announced on Monday afternoon.
Dixon isn’t guaranteed a roster spot, but he will have a chance to prove himself now that he’s healthy again.
He went undrafted in 2019 and was soon signed as a free agent by Houston Texas who cut him on Aug. 31 of that year. The Arizona Cardinals picked him up, and he spent his rookie season on their practice squad – though he dealt with a hamstring injury. After the season, he inked a reserve/future contract with them, but he dealt with an abdomen injury and was waived in September 2020 with an injury settlement.
This time, Dixon’s shot to make a case that he belongs in the NFL will come in Dallas.
As a Buckeye, Dixon fought through significant injury issues that threatened his career to record 67 receptions for 1,146 yards and 16 touchdowns across his five-year career. He was a team captain as a redshirt senior.
