Draft Note by John Paulsen
Mixon finished RB3 last season after posting the 10th-highest per game average in his injury-shortened 2020 campaign. Cincy made moves to improve its offensive line which was poor in pass protection but decent in the run game. Mixon’s own pass blocking was bad in 2021, so he is likely to yield third-down snaps as he did late last season. He still managed to catch 20 passes in his final six regular season games, so he’ll continue to contribute as a receiver. The Bengals have a strong offense and Mixon is a prime contributor.
