Case Study On Dickerson

Dickerson is a four-year senior and plays what NU calls the superback position. It’s a hybrid fullback/tight end role. Dickerson has appeared in 42 games for NU during his career, recording 71 receptions for 717 yards and 6 touchdowns. Dickerson is used as a blocking fullback, rarely running the ball himself. Dickerson is a solid college player, due to his size, but he does not have the speed or hands to be a tight end at the next level. Dickerson could be a fullback prospect at the next level, but has not shown the tools to be a reliable lead blocker in the NFL. There are better FB prospects for this year’s Senior Bowl as well.
