If Evans is going to take Perines playing time he’s got to be a tougher runner and be able to block and pick up blitzes. Frankly the best recipe is to have Evans spell Mixon more and Mixon take Perine’s snaps. They are very watchful of Mixon’s load. Mixon keep his number of snaps mind you.
But I think Ossai is the answer to OP’s ask
Oh, I think Mixon will have a huge year. I'm not disputing that, as long as he stays healthy like Vinyl mentioned. He just won't win MVP, that's ridiculous. If this was 1997, maybe. However, it's 2022 and RBs need a perfect storm in order to win MVP. Both Jonathon Taylor (2,171 yards, 20 TDs on 5.8 yards per touch) and Derrick Henry (2,141 yards, 17 TDs on 5.4 yards per touch) have had "huge" seasons recently and both guys received precisely zero consideration for MVP. I genuinely think Mixon would need to break the single season record for scrimmage yards (2,509 yards) and have 20+ TDs paired with a bad year for QBs. That just isn't going to happen. Burrow will win MVP before Mixon gets a single vote.
