Not today.

I'm not saying he doesn't deserve a chance to play in the NFL or that his incident should define him forever, but it hasn't even been three years since this incident.  That isn't enough time to determine if this was simply a horrible mistake that was completely out of character or a pattern of behavior.

Every team in the NFL rolls the dice on guys with character flags.  I was in support of us giving Mixon a shot.  However, taking two guys that have been caught on video beating up women in such a close time span in today's political climate is going to be a PR disaster.  We are already the NFL's whipping boy for thugs and criminals, rightly or wrongly.  The Simmons video is way worse than the Mixon video, and they are going to get played side by side if we draft him and both will get drug up again and again if/when either one of them screws up.  Is that really fair to either?
