Joe Mixon was emotional, often crying, during Friday's conference call with Cincinnati media after the Bengals selected him with the 48th overall pick.
Mixon was suspended by Oklahoma for the full 2014 season after he punched a woman, breaking four bones in her face, in a Norman, Oklahoma, deli. The 20-year-old reached a civil settlement agreement last Friday with the woman. He accepted a plea deal in the criminal case stemming from the incident.
Joe, what was your reaction when you got that call, how emotional was it for you?
Joe Mixon: It was very emotional.
