4. Dakota, Sr.


Dozier, whose full name is Dakota Duran Dozier, and his wife Haley welcomed a son, Dakota Jr. (“Dak”), on Sept. 13, 2018.


“It’s fun,” Dozier said of parenthood during a December interview. “[He] gave me another thing to go to work for. I love it. I wake up and kiss my wife and Dak goodbye, and it’s just something to think about every day when I get in the building.”


5. Adding to his résumé


Dak isn’t the only one in the family with a nickname.


Dozier’s nickname is “Bull” (Bull-Dozier … get it?), and he reinforced the moniker last year when the Jets asked him to play some fullback over the final four games of the season.


The new position paid off against the Bills, when the Jets decided to go for it on fourth-and-goal from the Buffalo 1. Dozier, 6-foot-4 and 313 pounds, made two blocks that helped Elijah McGuire make his way into the end zone.


“That was definitely a lot of fun,” Dozier said after the game.
