Mixon Signed

(06-02-2017, 01:11 PM)Nate (formerly eliminate08) Wrote: Nice, this guy is the leading candidate for our ROY in my eyes this season. Ross will be a difference maker but he probably
won't get near the snaps Mixon will get. Mixon is already good in pass protection which is what keeps rookies from starting
immediately at RB. He is very versatile.

Excellent point about pass protection.  Hill was not strong in this area, nor was he a great route-runner,  and it greatly limited the Bengal's options when he was on the field.  Mixon is supposed to be the best receiving back coming out of the draft, next to Christian McCafferey.  

I think he will likely start the year splitting 50/50 with Hill (because they aren't going to waste Hill in a contract year) but he will end up with more as the season wears on and Gio works his way back in to the rotation.  

I am not rooting for Hill to fail.  In fact, I am hoping he has his best season ever and helps propel the team to the postseason.  I may not give this a big chance of happening, but if he plays great and leaves in FA, he becomes a solid compensatory pick.
