Oklahoma RB Joe Mixon didn't receive a first-round grade from the NFL college advisory committee and was never submitted by OU for consideration, despite what Mixon told ESPN shortly after declaring for the 2017 NFL Draft, according to USA TODAY Sports.
Three people with knowledge of the committee's list spoke on condition of anonymity with USA TODAY Sports.
Mixon's agent, Peter Schaffer, confirmed the news to USA TODAY Sports Friday, but said Mixon's remarks to ESPN contained substance based on what the player learned from other agents before he and Schaffer began working together.
