Dakota Dozier ’14 – Raleigh NFL lineman makes most of off-season with adjusted workouts, volunteer work amid COVID-19

Like so many others, Dakota Dozier’s ’14 entire livelihood is on hold. An offensive lineman for the Minnesota Vikings, Dozier calls Raleigh home in the offseason.

“I know my options are limited, but I’m doing the best I can with it,” said Dozier of his daily workouts. “And that’s kind of how I’ve approached it. Just go out here, do the best I can and be as fit as possible and so when I can get back in the weight room, hit that hard and get back on the field, hit that hard.”….

Dakota has a health and exercise science degree from Furman University that he’s also putting to work in partnership with 3M. He films himself doing experiments that kids at home can replicate.

Dozier is active with other causes as well in the Vikings community. It’s a voluntary part of his job that he greatly enjoys.

“The NFL platform obviously affords you the chance to connect with different organizations,” he said. “And it’s just an awesome platform to use because I love giving back. We’re tremendously blessed to do what we do and any way we can give back is awesome.”
