From the info I read on him, the Giants liked him, but the only WR spot he played was the X, which for the Giants is Plaxico Burress. It also appeared the NYG fans weren't happy with him being let go. I'm not saying he is the singular solution to our Red Zone woes, but when you have a 6'5" WR matched up against a 5'10" corner you have to take a shot at a fade. Even if Mix doesn't make the play, it may force the defense to adjust or shift, which may open Cooley or someone else. DBs are always taught to take away the slant inside the 10, and if you have short WRs the DBs can really cheat on the slant because the fade is extremely difficult to throw to a shorter WR.

Based on where we are with our WR corps right now we need to find out if this kid can make plays. If he can great, we found a WR. If not, we will at least have had a chance to evaluate if he can develop and is worth keeping around. He also played with Campbell at Auburn and JC lobbied to get him here. It would go far in showing confidence in JC by giving Mix a chance.
