The New England Patriots are signing former Culver-Stockton College wide receiver Kyle Dixon to a contract that includes $252,500 in guarantees, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
Dixon, an NAIA standout, caught the attention of NFL scouts during a standout performance at the University of Missouri pro day. Measuring 6-foot-2 and weighing 220 pounds, Dixon displayed elite explosiveness with a 40.5-inch vertical jump and a 10-foot-11-inch broad jump. These physical traits likely played a significant role in securing his spot with the Patriots as the team looks to add size and athleticism to their receiving corps.
The signing was confirmed by Dixon's agent, Hardik Sanghavi of Exclusive Sports Group. Making the transition from Culver-Stockton College to the NFL marks a significant milestone for the prospect, who becomes one of the few NAIA players to secure such a substantial guarantee in a signing of this nature.
