Tuesday night was a big day for Joe Mixon. Mixon, who was not invited to this year’s combine due to an incident in 2014, was reported to have met with the Detroit Lions and three other teams, the Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals and New Orleans Saints. These are all teams with a need for Mixon’s particular position as a running back. Even with teams that have the need, Mixon can’t afford to discriminate against any team that shows interest.
Possibilities still exist for Mixon
Due to his misdemeanor charge from 2014 for punching a fellow female student, Mixon was not expected to be drafted at all.
