I can help. I can use a programming language to grab this data quickly. I filtered for rushing data since 2017 (Mixon's rookie year) and looked for RBs with at least 100 carries over that time frame. Here is the top five "rush attempts per long run"...
1. Damien Williams (55 attempts per long run)
2. Saquon Barkley (60 attempts per long run)
3. J.K. Dobbins (67 attempts per long run)
4. Raheem Mostert (70 attempts per long run)
5. Cam Akers (75 attempts per long run)
Out of 72 qualifying players over this timespan, Mixon ranks 57th with a 40+ yard run every 276 attempts, or roughly once per season.
