Even though Joe Mixon didn't make much of an impact in the Cincinnati Bengals' Week 1 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, head coach Marvin Lewis believes his rookie running back has a bright future.
"He's way better than I expected," Lewis said on a conference call Tuesday, per Curtis Crabtree of Pro Football Talk. "He's very, very talented. As a football player, he's excellent and as a young man, I'm really impressed with him and just the way he carries himself and does things. That's good. He's going to have a fine pro career and he's had one game under his belt now.
