A good running game, even in today's NFL, is a quarterback's best friend, and that's especially true for a rookie qb.  Mixon will take so much pressure off of Burrow, both mentally by making plays and not requiring him to carry the team and in his play by making teams respect the run.  

Personally, I'd pay him while we still can get him relatively cheap because I believe that he's one of the best backs in the league and I can't wait to see him with Burrow.

Cannot disagree with any of this Brad. Just don't want Mixon to hold out.

Cause you are right, he could blow up the league with Burrow and the O-line improving...
