I would agree if not for the fact that for years Mixon has ranked near the bottom of most categories that rank RBs outside of just YPC. I've been a big Mixon supporter for probably too long but he's just not him and never really has been, in the NFL. Some of its the line but also just his style of running hasn't worked at this level. He gets taken down way too easily by 1 guy, isn't shifty, and doesn't have enough power for his size. He's just average at all of those which coupled with a poor oline makes him an average at best RB.
