Reason being you can be in on a passing play that had no intentions of going to you and it can be checked to a run and the same goes for the inverse. You want to be able to get on the field, and for a rookie that comes down to being able to pass protect. From everything I have seen Mixon can pass protect which means he should be able to see the field often early on.

This, i understand why CJD and some don't think Mixon will start on day one cause of the past but he is a great pass
blocker already and Dalton has already spoken of being excited about the guy cause of his versatility and that he has
great hands. Mixon will do too well in the Preseason for him to not be the main dude IMHO.

Hill will be the short yardage back most likely. He will definately get more than 3 touches a game.
