If so, how about his ON THE FIELD impact? NFL Network was just looking at the RBs in the draft class and all of then said Mixon is a perfect fit for the offense we run. They also said they had heard from coaches that this pick was also in part a signal to Jeremy Hill that he needs to step up or step out.
Mixon's pass catching is what sets him apart from the other backs. Fournette and Cook may be slightly better pure runners...but Mixon has wide receiver hands.
He kind of reminds me of a more physical Chris Perry in some ways.
