The Cincinnati Bengals drafted running back Joe Mixon in the second-round of the 2017 NFL Draft. Many fans thought that he would be the starting running back last year, or at least see more playing time than he did, but Mixon was just a part of the Bengals three running back system. Rushing for 626 yards and four touchdowns in 14 games, Mixon only failed to reach 40 percent of the teams offensive snaps last season.
Following Jeremy Hill leaving for New England, Mixon is the starting running back coming into 2018. He will likely have a significant role in the Bengals new offense under offensive coordinator Bill Lazor, and fans will get to see what he can do.
