My Last Thoughts About Mixon.

There are also conflicting reports from other sources on the issue.  Ian Rappaport reported that Mixon was off the draft boards of about half of the NFL teams.  The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported that of executives contacted of 11 different teams, 6 had Mixon off their boards.

Point being, with widely varying reports, it's pretty obvious that there was a lot of misinformation being spread by teams, likely in an attempt to get him to fall so they could grab him later.

Yes.  And haven't we all been led to believe no one tells the truth about anything leading up to the draft for years now?  Bottom line, take it all with a grain of salt.  And ig there were only four teams who had him on their boards, how did he make 20 visits?
