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

Situations like this are why I respect Mike Brown and Marvin Lewis. They take players of questionable character and turn them into upstanding men. Sometimes they succeed -- Chris Henry, Jeremy Hill, Vontaze Burfict -- and sometimes they don't -- Pacman Jones.* It's good to have Joe Mixon on an NFL roster under the media microscope instead of on the street, undrafted, and headed for trouble. Think of the great mentors Joe has: AJ Green, Giovani Bernard, Andy Dalton, AJ McCarron, and more. I can see Andy and Jordan or AJ and Miranda or AJ and Katherine having Joe over for dinner and a movie. He needs family around.



*I'll start calling Pacman Jones "Adam" again when he stops acting like Pacman.
