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?
No, people tend to forget. Brandon Marshal has had around 9 domestic violence claims made against him but people forget if you are a winner. Hell, many forget that it was actually Chad Johnson head butting his wife requiring her to get stitches that got him cut in Miami. A new controversy will come about before the season ends, and as long as Mixon stays clean no one will really even talk about it.
