2020 was rough for Cincinnati Bengals fans, but heads up. Running back Joe Mixon is primed to have a great year in 2021, and even the virtual NFL world is rooting for him.
Despite playing just six games last season, Mixon was included in Madden NFL 22’s top ten running backs, tied with Ezekiel Elliott for ninth at 88 overall. This places him pretty much in the same spot as last year’s rating, when Mixon was tied for seventh at 89 overall.
Mixon was one of the two injured Joe’s last season, and the fact that his rating only dropped one point suggests Madden still believes in his potential.
