We fans will continue debating him because of his off-field issues. But ultimately at this point all that really matters is how much do the Bengals like him and will he be a Bengal?
The question that really needs to be asked is if he's selected by the Bengals, will you stop supporting the Bengals? Or will you root against Mixon if he's a Bengal?

Go check some of the Chiefs forums. They hated Tyreek Hill from April until he started scoring TD's. Then, all of his DV and arrests didn't matter a lick

I don't condone violence against women. That is ridiculous. It has nothing to do with me condoning what he did.
Do you condone drinking and driving, theft, or any of the other crimes that Bengals have committed? Saying that a guy is allowed to play on the Bengals has nothing to do with condoning a mistake he made.

I'll flat out admit I want him to be selected. Especially if that is outside of the first round. He's arguably one of the top 5 talents in the draft an an immediate impact player.

Wil never condone hitting a woman, drinking and driving, assault, burglary, etc.
However I do believe in second chances, and the incident in question here was 2-3 year ago with an 18 year old boy. Unless I am missing something, he has never been in trouble before or after the incident. Some people do actually learn from past mistakes and change for the better. I'd be all for the bengals taking mixon in the second or trading back up on the first. With that said, I have a feeling someone will take a chance on him earlier than expected. He isn't ray rice, who is supposed to be an adult on hr downside of his career. He is a top talent that had a bad bad mistake at 18 years old.
Again I don't condone it, but I wouldn't be surprised if the kid has a long career without another instance of DV.
