Thought of the Day: 10 years from now, will Mixon still be vilified?

[*ochocincos*]

In practically every national media article related to the Bengals since being drafted, Joe Mixon's incident is brought up.
However, since becoming a Bengal, he's been a model citizen, often going the extra mile to interact with fans and signing autographs after other Bengals have left.
So I started to wonder what the perception of him will be if he stays on this path to redeem himself? Will most people forgive/forget what he did as a teenager and see a story of redemption? Or will they continue to vilify him (and the Bengals organization itself) for that infamous incident?

Your thoughts?
