Joe Mixon was a beast of a Running Back at the University of Oklahoma, though off-field issues likely cost him on Draft Day, where he fell to the Second Round of the 2017 Draft, landing with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Mixon was decent as a rookie (628 Rushing Yards, 4 TDs), but he made his expected move to a higher echelon of RBs, as a sophomore, breaking 1,100 Rushing Yards, and doing so again in 2019. An injury held Mixon to only six Games in 2020, but last season Mixon had a personal best 1,205 Rushing Yards, with 13 Touchdowns on the ground. He was rewarded with his first Pro Bowl, and was instrumental in the Bengals march to a Super Bowl appearance. In 2002, Mixon again exceeded 1,000 Yards From Scrimmage.
Mixon's 2023 would be his last as a Bengal, and he departed Southern Ohio with his fourth 1,000-Yard year. He was traded to the Houston Texans in a cost-cutting move after, and compiled 8,551 Yards From Scrimmage and 62 Touchdowns for Cincinnati
