He led the AFC in yardage one year. That was the year of injuries, holdouts, and suspensions for a lot of the top backs in the conference.... But he did beat out undrafted Phillip Lindsay... Barely.

Mixon should be on the hotseat this year, too.  The guy threatened to hold out, then got a big contract and followed it up with 3.6 YPC and 10 games missed.  I don't think the guy is hopeless, but meh...he's got to perform this year or he's likely to get mighty unpopular.  Plus, we have Burrow and Chase so why should we fear throwing the ball a lot?  Let 'er rip.
