It was his rookie year in DC.
He started half the season, averaging 3.4 YPC. Just two total TDs in that season.

Maybe he's better now that he's had more experience, but he's not fast enough to be a starting RB, in my opinion.

Mixon timed faster than Perine, but has definitely lost a step or two.  He hasn't had a 40+ yard run since 2019.  

I'm not a Perine fan at all, but it may be time for more of a 50/50 split.  Mixon isn't what he used to be.  I think that with the OL still trying to get, his more decisive running style and better pass pro can help those guys out a tad.  The offense can also be a tad bit less predictable with him in the game.
