Controversial draft prospect, RB Joe Mixon, to visit Broncos Thursday

The Broncos hope to gain more insight about one of the most controversial prospects in the 2017 draft class: former Oklahoma running back Joe Mixon.

Mixon is scheduled to meet with Broncos officials at Dove Valley Thursday, per an NFL source. The talk won’t be all about football. Mixon is meeting with NFL teams in part to try to convince executives why they should take a chance on him. In July 2014, as a freshman at Oklahoma, Mixon forcefully punched a young woman in the face at a sandwich shop. Mixon and the woman were in the midst of a verbal confrontation in Norman, Okla.
