It would appear that this year’s Bengals are going to have an offense built around Joe Mixon. The former Oklahoma Sooner led the AFC in rushing last year. Mixon has the talent and will have the opportunity to eventually challenge the numbers of the Bengals all-time franchise rushing leader, Corey Dillon.
Dillon was the featured back in Cincinnati from 1997-2002. When you consider that Cincinnati posted double digit losses in all but one of those seasons, what Dillon did in Cincinnati is jaw dropping.
The former Washington Huskie never posted less than 1100 rushing yards in a season during those years.
