Johnnie Dixon has been an absolute star in the United States Football League since its return last season. He was the leading receiver for the New Orleans Breakers in 2022 with 38 receptions for 362 yards and four touchdowns. Despite a brief injury setback, he looks primed to have a successful 2023.
The USFL has finished Week 6, and Dixon has already accumulated 14 receptions for 163 yards and two touchdowns, which is in the top 10 in the league. New Orleans (4-2) leads the South Divison despite losing to the Philadelphia Stars, 16-10, in its last game. The big highlight was a 4-yard receiving touchdown by the former Buckeye.

The best part of this touchdown was the interaction between the former Buckeye, Dixon, and the former Wolverine and now sideline commentator, Devin Gardner.

If you missed it here is a screenshot of the sick “Block O” tattoo Dixon is sporting:
