I think they're looking at running backs in the NFL, and saying okay, even if this guy is an all-time great we'll get, what? 7 years out of him? And if he's decent then you get maybe 3-5 years before he goes somewhere else and you move on to improve the position.
He's already been clean for close to 3 years, so the odds of him getting into trouble are actully pretty low. You gotta commend ML and the F.O. for not giving into the outrage machine. Mixon could be a game changer.
I'll be honest, I'm not thrilled with the pick....at all. I have softened up since the initial outrage, and I DO believe everyone should get a second chance. I just kinda wish it was another team giving the chance. Oh well, nothing I can do about it, and we shouldn't judge, in a moment of weakness, I did......and you're right, he has been low key since the incident. Hope he can keep it that way, time will tell.
