It’s tough to see Kenneth Dixon breaking camp with the Jets considering the current state of the running back room.

Le’Veon Bell, Frank Gore, rookie La’Mical Perine and Trenton Cannon are all ahead of the 26-year-old Dixon on New York’s depth chart. That is a lot of ground to make up for any running back, especially one who has spent almost the entirety of his career as a backup.

Dixon could look like a world-beater in training camp and it still might not be enough to make the 53-man roster. The Jets are simply too crowded in the backfield right now for him to make a serious run at a spot.
