Why is Joe Mixon under appreciated?

[Nicomo Cosca]

If you’re not a speedster you can’t go down as easily as he does. I believe he’s usually down among the worst in the league in YAC, and explosive plays. He can be effective if everything is blocked up perfectly, but so can pretty much any RB’s. Mixon is decent as a pass catcher, I’ll give him that.

I wouldn’t be upset at all though if they decided to move on from him after this season (I don’t think they will). It’s a young man’s position, and I think they can pretty easily upgrade his spot.
