Their scouts were on campus two or three weeks ago looking at Dixon. I'm sure other workouts were scheduled with other teams, but the only actual team I heard that came to Starkville so far was the 49ers.

because DS was talking about Florida in general, and not just this year's defending national champion 1 loss SECE champ. Comparing this year's UF team to a 4 loss Ron Zook UF team is definitely apples to apples.

Saints- already have pierre reggie and mike bell, and have more glaring needs on defense
Colts- have addai, and took donald brown in the first round last year, but has been hurt for a couple months now
cowboys- more than set with barber jones and choice
steelers- have o-line issues, and set with mendenhall parker and mewelde moore
Titans- lendale is actually in better shape this year, CJ has just been going off showing the team doesn't need a second back. also have big needs elsewhere
Panthers- Deangelo and jonathan stewart, they'll be fine
falcons- set with turner and norwood when both are healthy
bucs- cadillac, ward and earnest graham. they need defense
Browns- Jerome Harrison has absolutely gone off the last two weeks, and they also have james davis who was hurt majority of the year. possible but not likely
Lions- they've got kevin smith who has been streaky, and maurice morris who has done okay. they have o-line issues more than RB issues
Seahawks- possible, but again o-line play has been more to blame than RB play. julius jones is decent and justin forsett has looked mostly great
49ers- AD told me he's actually a big 49ers fan, but they have frank gore already and drafted glen coffee last year. unlikely
Packers- ryan grant hasn't been consistently effective since 2007, but again I'd credit that to the o-line. possible, but a longshot
bills- they've got lynch and fred jackson who has is one of the more underrated guys in the nfl
raiders- they have more good backs than they know what to do with. though dixon would probably be a better qb than jamarcus
jaguars- MJD is a small guy but he still runs between the tackles alot. they've also got a solid backup in rashad jennings
giants- set with jacobs and bradshaw
cardinals- took beanie first round last year and also have tim hightower
jets- thomas jones leon washington and shonn greene. they're good
broncos- have too many rb's as it is and took moreno in the first round last year
dolphins- ronnie brown has proven to be injury prone and ricky williams is getting old and wont be around too many more years. i'm guessing no, but possible
rams- they've already got a "big" guy in stephen jackson, who's one of the best rb's in the nfl. they have way too many other needs
eagles- drafted lesean mccoy in the first round last year and also have brian westbrook for the time being.
bears- they've got matt forte, who had a stellar rookie season, and this year was not as involved in the offense, and like so many other teams, bears have little o-line help

Most likely spots
Chargers- I'd consider it very likely, whether or not you believe LT is over the hill, the Chargers believe it and are looking for a replacement. Sproles is best suited as a 3rd down back
Texans- I talked to a texan's scout at the bama game who said they were looking for a big back. they need a compliment to Slaton and someone who doesnt fumble
Patriots- the patriots have about 5 average or old RB's, not my first guess but wouldn't be shocked.
Chiefs- they cut larry johnson and jamaal charles has done well in his place, but he's an undersized flashy kind of guy, they need a between the tackles runner
redskins- very likely. portis is getting old, ineffective and brittle. they need o-line more than anything, but a good rb is near the top of the list

I'm thinking he ends up with the Patriots with Fred Taylor getting old and to me Maroney is not much of a "do it all" type back. Maybe Seatle or Kansas City because those are 2 teams I could care less about and he'd probably end up at one of them.

Being a Saints fan, I would love to have him... but know we need help on the defensive side of the ball.

Talked to a Redskins scout a few times this year. They love AD. Would not be surprised to see him end up in Washington. The guy went on and on about him, and said they were targeting him.
