I would bring in a rookie RB next year (either 1st, 2nd or 3rd round) and let him learn behind Mixon but work towards

the rookie getting more carries as the season goes on.

Mixon is more of a Power back at this stage of his career. After contact by a Big man or two men he can still go forward

a yard or 2. He has lost some of his speed but I am glad he is here for 2023.

Mixon at age 21    6 foot and ¾ tall  228 pounds   4.45 forty                  

Samaje Perine at his combine 5 foot 10 and 5/8   233 pounds  4.65 forty

The Bengals may go for a Power replacement for Mixon or go for speed or luck out and find both in a rookie.

They drafted a RB just this year, he currently is a rookie.
