Mixon is one of the most talented running backs entering the 2017 NFL Draft, and he could make a major impact in Green Bay’s explosive offense. It’s off the field where concerns are raised.
Mixon punched a female student in 2014 and was suspended for the year. Despite all of his talents on the field, his actions off it have severely impacted his draft stock.
The Packers typically shy away from players with such red flags, but Peter King wrote on Monday morning that they have shown interest:
“I’m hearing the Oklahoma running back, who had the 2014 incident of punching a female student in the face, has garnered the most interest from Cincinnati, Minnesota, Green Bay and Jacksonville.
