Joe Mixon has decided to enter the 2017 NFL Draft, according to ESPN.
The third-year sophomore running back has decided to skip his senior season at Oklahoma after the Sooners thumped Auburn in the Sugar Bowl, 35-19.
In that victory, Mixon rushed for 180 yards and scored two touchdowns.

Mixon has become a controversial figure in college football. In June 2014 he punched a woman in the face at a late-night restaurant and was suspended for the entire 2014 season.
The brutal assault became relevant again last month, when the video surveillance of the incident was released to the public.
