That said, even with a great OL, I honestly don't see Mixon on the level of Hunt/Kamara's 2017 season, though.
Kamara: 120 carries/728 yards (6.1 YPC)/8 TD ... 81 catches/826 yards (10.2 AVG)/5 TD
Hunt: 272 carries/1,327 yards (4.9 YPC)/8 TD ... 53 catches/455 yards (8.6 AVG)/3 TD
Mixon: 178 carries/628 yards (3.5 YPC)/4 TD ... 30 catches/287 yards (9.6 AVG)/0 TD
I don't see an improved OL bridging that big of a gap. Those guys were electric. Kamara had 7 less touches than Mixon, but 639yd/9 TD more. That's not just OL.
And Mixon isn't big enough that we can compare it to Bell's rookie season, where Bell lost 20lbs in the offseason after his low YPC rookie season.
Good stats, they will be turned on their head this year. Mixon is just as talented as those two, had better vision
than both Hunt and Kamara in college, has just as good of hands and is bigger, stronger and just as fast.
We will see who is the more talented back this season, my bet is on Mixon. Those guys were impressive behind
far superior O-lines, far superior, behind our O-line they would of disappeared. Its amazing Mixon averaged what
he did behind the most passive O-line of all time, shit of shit. Never seen anything that embarassing.
