"Taylor Kyles of Patriots CLNS called Dixon the best player on the field on Saturday, which was the second of the two workouts that was open to the media. Mike Giardi of Boston Sports Journal echoed that sentiment after Dixon made four receptions in an 11-on-11 period, catching passes from intriguing seventh-round quarterback Behren Morton."
""Hard not to have these eyes drawn to NAIA product, WR Kyle Dixon," Giardi wrote. "The UDFA had a couple of catches during the team period, including one on a post route. There was a defender who, had this been a game, might have been able to knock the stuffing out of him, but at least Dixon made the catch in this circumstance. All in all, the ball did not hit the ground very often, a credit to Morton. The Texas Tech product was quick to get the ball out and generally accurate. There was also a little more giddy up on his throws.""
"To Giardi's point, the real evaluations of Dixon will come later this summer, when the pads come on during training camp. There's no denying his athletic profile, though. His small-school background aside, he could make some noise after the Patriots passed on drafting a wide receiver for the first time since 2020."
"Per NFL insider Tom Pelissero, Dixon was a standout after being invited to attend Missouri's Pro Day, posting a time of 4.46-seconds in the 40-yard dash to go with some strong showings in both the broad (10-foot-11) and vertical (40.5 inches). He's an older prospect at 25 years old - but that's due in part to him being a former"
Kyle Dixon, a wide receiver from Culver-Stockton College, signed with the New England Patriots as an undrafted free agent for over $250,000 in guaranteed cash. During the 2026 rookie minicamp, media members reported that Dixon was the best player on the field, including four receptions in an 11-on-11 period. He caught passes from seventh-round quarterback Behren Morton and made catches on routes such as a post. Observers noted Dixon’s ability to secure the ball even when a defender might have disrupted him, along with Morton’s accurate, quick passing. Further evaluation is expected in training camp when pads come on. Dixon also posted a 4.46-second 40-yard dash and strong broad and vertical jump results after attending Missouri’s Pro Day.
