About Domenik Hixon
Domenik Hixon is an American former professional football player who was a wide receiver and return specialist in the National Football League (NFL). He was selected by the Denver Broncos in the fourth round of the 2006 NFL draft. He played college football for the Akron Zips. He was also a member of the New York Giants, with whom he became a two-time Super Bowl winner against the New England Patriots twice, as well as a member of the Carolina Panthers and Chicago Bears. Hixon was one of Charlie Frye's passing weapons during his first 3 years at Akron. At the start of the second quarter in the first game of the season against the Buffalo Bills, tight end Kevin Everett suffered a serious spinal cord injury while tackling Hixon. He recovered a critical fumble late in the 4th quarter of the NFC Championship game on January 20 at frigid Lambeau Field, a game the Giants eventually won in overtime. In the 2005 MAC Championship game, Luke Getsy found Hixon for what would be the game winning 36 yard touchdown pass with 11 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, earning Akron its first MAC Championship in school history.
