I have a different viewpoint of Mixon, I don't think he's team first and he's a little childish. I see him perform better only when he has the pressure of his backups performing better. Overall, he has underperformed and we blame it on other things, but when he "performs" (rare) - we say it's just him.

I would not have signed him to a large contract and instead invest in a better line for a "more average" RB to run behind and protect Burrow.
