Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn said the team would be open to drafting Oklahoma running back Joe Mixon and that it was "disappointing" the NFL chose not to invite him to the NFL Scouting Combine.

"We're going to leave the door open on Joe. I think it's really disappointing that Joe's not here," Quinn told reporters Wednesday. "We come here to see the best college football players in college football. So there's 330, 340-some odd players here. Him not being here, because of those issues, personally I don't think that's real fair because we have a lot of investigation that we want to do on him and to get him in one spot for all the teams would have been great.
