He certainly did excel on Special Teams for the Skins. I'd imagine he could contribute regularly as a #4 along with his special teams work.

*I* recall mentioning AM in the "Zorn and Shins to pursue DJ Hackett" thread a day or so ago. I don't recall him ever being placed on waivers, but the Redskins plucked him from the Giants PS, the only requirement when you do that is that you must sign him to your 53 man roster.
The Giants had hopes for AM and wanted him to stay around. He probably would have gotten a chance to show what he could do had Plexico Burress not proved he was able to continue playing through injury. They liked what they saw of Mix in the preseason, and actually wanted to keep him but you can't block a player on the PS from being signed by another team.
I don't have any idea what the teams plan is for Mix, but I would like to see him at least have an opportunity to show what he can do in the preseason.
