| Biography: |
All David Dixon needed was a team willing to be patient with him and plug him in at the right spot. After being switched from defense to offense and finding a coach who was willing to stick with his development, Dixon has turned into a solid right guard on the Vikings’ offensive line.
He could be entering the final year or years of his career, but Dixon was solid in 2003 and is expected to start again in 2004.
2003: Started all 16 games for the first time since 2000, and helped pave the way for the league’s top offense. Has 118 career starts at guard, second to Randall McDaniel’s 188 record in team history.
2002: Finished the season as the third-ranked guard in team history for career starts (103). Started 15 games, missing the Atlanta game (12/1) with a hip flexor. A contributing factor in Michael Bennett’s 1,296 yards rushing.
2001: From his right guard position, Dixon had to become accustomed to a new starting right tackle in Chris Liwienski after the death of Korey Stringer. Missed two starts.
2000: Flanked a new starting center and left guard. Started all 16 regular-season games and both playoff games while protecting first-year starter Daunte Culpepper and helping Robert Smith to a 1,500-yard season.
1999: Had a perfect attendance record in 1999, starting all 18 games.
1998: Was one of three offensive linemen to start all 16 regular-season games and the two playoff games. Was part of the offensive continuity that led the Vikings deep into the playoffs.
1997: Became the full-time starter at right guard, although he missed two games with a neck injury.
1996: Started six games at guard.
1995: While Chris Hinton was missing time with an injury, Dixon was working his way into the starting lineup for six games.
1994: Started a string of stability for Dixon. Re-signed before training camp and made the 53-man roster, although he wasn’t active for every game.
1993: Released by Minnesota in training camp and played defensive tackle for the Cowboys on their practice squad.
1992: Signed to Minnesota’s practice squad in October after being released by New England in the preseason.
College: Was a starting defensive tackle at Arizona State in 1991 after transferring from Ricks College in Idaho. Was a former rugby player in New Zealand that learned American football in college.
Personal: Became a U.S. citizen in 1999.
