Hey, he played at Oklahoma, so there is that lol
But yeah, had really high hopes for Mixon. His vision and pass blocking have really disappointed me though as these were supposed
to be his strengths entering the NFL. Never manifested or even improved in these aspects going from Okey to here.
He's pretty much lived up to his draft profile (on the negative side).
- Inconsistent as inside runner
- Can be too patient at times
- Looks for wide-open points of entry before he hits the gas
- Can be nonchalant approaching line of scrimmage
- Dances downhill allowing running lanes to become creases
- Feet lag behind when headed into congestion and will get loose with his rush track inviting tacklers a chance to get a hand on him
- Lacks creativity in initial stages of his run at times
- Vision is just average
- Fails to see backside cuts developing on stretch plays
- Hops into his downhill cuts rather than a crisp plant-and-go
