Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon opened up about off-field incidents after he was acquitted on an aggravated menacing charge following a four-day trial.
"It is a great thing for everything to be pretty much over with and to be able to hone in on being the best teammate I can possibly be, being the leader and captain that I am around the team," he said, per Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic.
"It's a blessing to be here for another year. I'm going to try to do whatever I can to be what I am to the teammates and the fans and try to do whatever I can to be that positive role model in this here locker room because that's what matters.
