This link is to all-time career YPC leaders in the NFL since 1933 (minimum of 750 career carries), and the list is not exclusive to RBs (4 of the top 5 are QBs). Mixon is in a big tie for 161st place, tied with and ahead of many Pro-Bowl and HOF players for their careers. There are 15 active RBs listed ahead of him, so he is in top half of the current RBs in the league. Is he a superstar or future HOFer? No. Is he a good back? Absolutely.

Thank you. Is 4.1 great? No but it's still good. There are alot of things that go into this as well. We haven't wanted to focus on the run really since Taylor has been here. Heck it took a two years of one getting Burrows knee obliterated and then followed up getting by getting pummeled the next year before we said maybe we should build the line. Everyone tosses out the crap line for Burrow but for Mixon it's not even an after thought. He's not a perfect back he doesn't have elite breakaway speed ( which hurts his ypc ) but he is a good nfl running back.
