True.

Mixon has never had a 20+ yd TD before in 801 touches.
McCaffrey had 5 last year alone, with 4 of the 5 being 40+ yards.

You either have it, or you don't. It could be vision, it could be speed. Either way, over 800 touches without it happening is significant.

It is a bit perplexing, I think Mixon has great burst but maybe not that extra gear you are speaking of.

I just want to use him more in the passing game, think it has been a shame the lack of use he has had in this aspect.

Use him to his strengths, damn how many times do I have to say this. 


The coaches need to use the players to their strengths.
