I know he's struggled a lot but people seem to forget how damn special the second half of his rookie season was...he looked the next big thing.
Big back but with the long speed to take it to the house - jeez that year we had 85td TD run from Hill and a 89 yard TD run from Gio...seems a lifetime ago.
Not hating on Mixon but since training camp people have talked about his rushing game way beyond what we're seeing on the field.
If you want to see a genuine rookie rushing marvel go back to Hill's 1st year.
I wish him luck...I would not be surprised at all if he caught onto the right team (someone like the raiders) and became a valuable contributor again
Oh and another thing I respect about Hill.
After his rookie year and the OTT celebrations I thought he was gonna turn into an attitude problem this year with Mixon being anointed before the season had even started - not a bit of it.
Like Gio was classy and performed his role when Hill came in as a 2nd rd pick and took playing time off him...Hill has been the same this year when Mixon came in as 2nd rd pick and took his playing time ....meanwhile Mixon felt a few games into a poor rookie season he could try and put pressure on the replacement OC to give him more snaps through interviews
