Last year Joe Mixon at 21 years old, rushed for 626 yards and had 287 receiving yards. Not impressive, right? No big deal, right?
Think again.
What if I told you there are only 11 other backs ever that put up at least 625 yards rushing and 250 yards receiving in a season at the age of 21. Who are the 11 you say? I thought you’d never ask:
Edgerrin James
Ezekiel Elliott
Marshall Faulk
Jamal Lewis
Barry Sanders
Clinton Portis
Leveon Bell
Eric metcalf
Maurice Jones-Drew
Lesean McCoy
What he accomplished was rare even in what many might consider a lackluster rookie campaign. But in reality all he did was put himself in the ranks of pro bowl, hall of fame type players.
The sky is the limit for this kid. Enjoy the ride.
