Since Mixon has become our feature back (2017) Gio's had 7 games in which he's gotten double digit rushes. In those games he has rushed for 4.7 YPC and 5 TDs.
The 1 game he's had over 20 carries he went for 116 @ 5.0 YPC and a TD.
We could do much worse than Gio is Mixon is hurt and he's not over rated; he's under used.
Not just under used, but used incorrectly.
Sending him up the middle isn't exactly the best play for a shifty back who is dangerous in space. Toss plays, screens, even the occasional draw play would be a better way to use him.
