I'm sure there are PLENTY of guys in history that you could find that have been healthy on their second contract. There are also plenty of guys that get injured on their first contract. It means nothing. Mixon could go on to have a career like Frank Gore and play until he's 50 and never have career altering injury. Or next game he could...well you know, I wont say it.
No, they further prove what has been known and has been studied for a while now and that is HB’s will break down within a year or two of their second contract. Football outsiders I think it was did a deep dive on it last year after CMC got his contract and it basically shows there were one or two outliers, like AP who still tore his ACL, but the large majority flames out within two years of signing their second deal.
