The Broncos are working to gain more insight into one of the most controversial prospects in the 2017 draft class: former Oklahoma running back Joe Mixon.
Mixon met with Broncos officials, including general manager John Elway, at Dove Valley Thursday, per an NFL source. It isn’t just about football for Mixon, who 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.
