| Biography: |
Apparently 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.
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. |
