Offensive run schemes that emphasize downhill power and between-the-tackles runs would maximize his physical traits and north-south running style.
Year 1 as a short-yardage and goal-line specialist, with the ceiling to develop into a two-down power back in a run-heavy system.
A modern spread offense relying on outside zone and quick, shifty backs would significantly diminish his impact and expose his limited agility.
Anthony Dixon projects as a bruising back best suited for schemes that prioritize power running and can mask his lack of elite burst and agility.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
