That's a pass for me. I don't think we have the roster that would be able to help a guy with character concerns like that. He may have learned his lesson from hitting that girl but I think it's a bad look for us.

I don't know about how he is as a prospect, but Im willing to give the guy a second chance if he comes off good behind close doors with our coaching staff and McC.


This isn't direct at you Mooby, but...
Id really like to know what happened to second chances in this country, seems like our president is pardoning a lot of criminals these days giving second chances...but you say the wrong thing on twitter and faux outrage folks want blood...ie, that person to lose a job, lose a life, etc. strange times...lotta hypocrisy

Reminds me a lot of Zeke. Fast, stout, can run between the tackles, catches well out of the backfield

Not knowing the kid, I can't speak for him, but if the impression McC got from an interview and from speaking to those close with him is that he is a changed man and he deserves a chance I would be ok with it. But he wouldn't get another one if he slipped up again. I've seen the video and I know the girl was copping an attitude with him, but you gotta maintain your composure. You don't think I haven't wanted to hit someone who was mouthing off at me? The difference is I know not to act on it.

Long story short if McC does his homework (which we know he will) and thinks Mixon is worth the chance I'll probably get over it. But he's already on his second chance, which is what Bob Stoops gave him when he welcomed him back to the program. If he screws up again, I don't want to keep giving him chances based on his athletic talent.

That works...he doesn't get another screw up for sure. It was a terrible video for sure....but if Dallas/eagles draft him then it's proven, he is a woman beater and will burn in hell

It isnt like he goes around beating people in the face. She attacked him, he retailated and was suspended for an entire year. Plus this incident happened almost 3 years ago.

I can't get behind a guy who would punch a girl in the face.

That doesnt bother me in the slightest. There are worse people in the NFL right now.
