JOE MIXON – Cincinatti Bengals
For a team that is aboard the struggle bus this season, the Cincinnati Bengals have plenty to praise with their young running back in the backfield. Mixon’s talents easily display early round potential.
What made Mixon drop far in the draft was the controversey off of the football field. I do not plan to get into this subject very much, but in the long run, Mixon is a good football player.
Mixon’s 284 rushing yards, and two touchdowns have helped spark some positivity in Cincinnati. If Mixon stays clean, the Bengals have quite the player. Mixon had an outstanding college career for the Sooner football team, as he looks to do the same in the NFL.
He is in a crowded backfield in Cincinnati at the moment with Gio Bernard and Jeremy Hill, but Mixon will likely soon take over and be the top guy for the Bengals. Expect Mixon to have a great NFL career for the Bengals, and watch out for him to be a big name in the NFL in the near future.
