Receiving wasn't an issue for him last year either, but he seems to be awfully different once he is handed the ball. Maybe his future is to lose 10-ish pounds and become a slot receiver if he can't solve whatever problems he's having be if vision/decisiveness/whatever.

Late sample size last year with a worse line, catch out of the backfield and move in 1st preseason game, very limited play all against defense 1st.. Dallas had their 2nd defense in for most of Gios runs as did the Bears i believe.. gives me no worries at this point in our season and his career.

What i actually was happy with last nite is Mixon tried to make something out of nothing on a carry or two and did not go back 3 to 5 yards for a loss especially when we were backed up... good sign for a young player.
