Oklahoma running back Joe Mixon is one of the best running backs coming out of college this year.
He is eligible to be drafted, and he likely will be. And even if he isn’t, he will likely sign as a free agent and be on an NFL roster in a few months.
The NFL, however, is not allowing him to attend the combine because he punched a woman in 2014.
Mixon’s crime was disgusting, and the ultimate act of cowardice. But the NFL’s policy is dumb because it has nothing to do with discipline and everything to do with public relations.
