Joe Mixon’s stock remains mystery as draft begins

One of two things is on the minds of NFL executives heading into Thursday's NFL Draft.

Belief No. 1: Joe Mixon is the game-changing running back that will change the fortunes for one NFL team.

Belief No. 2: Joe Mixon's crime makes him undraftable.

Each NFL team has had four months to make the distinction between those two options with what could be the most polarizing NFL Draft prospect since the then St. Louis Rams selected Nebraska running back Lawrence Phillips with the sixth overall pick in 1996.

Mixon has the perfect physique and all the skills needed from a Pro Bowl-caliber running back.
