According to this, Mixon was:
Avg Yards Before Contact = 2.6 (leading rusher with 100+ rushing attempts was Achane at 4.7)
Avg Yards After Contact = 1.4 (leading rusher with 100+ rush attempts was also Achane at 3.0. Chase Brown was actually right after Achane at 2.9)
Mixon had only 5 runs of 20+ yards the entire season, none of which were 50+ yards.

I like Mixon, but he's not a home run threat (anymore at least).

What I want to know is how a guy like James Conner, who's not exactly thought of as fast, averaged 3.0 before contact and 5.0 overall?  Hell, he had a career year on a very suspect Arizona Cardinals team.
