Anthony “Boobie” Dixon was the 173rd overall pick in the 6th round of the NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers in 2010. Boobie spent most of his time playing special teams for the 49ers. After spending the first 4 years of his career in San Francisco, Boobie signed a Free Agent deal with the Buffalo Bills before the 2014 season.

After a couple of key injuries, Dixon had the opportunity to get some meaningful playing time at running back for the Bills in 2014. He broke 100 carries for the first time in his career with 105 in 2014, and he accumulated 432 yards on the ground to go with 2 touchdowns.
