Running back Joe Mixon was considered by some to be the top rusher in this past year's NFL Draft class, but he wasn't expected to get drafted early on because of some poor off-field choices he made while enrolled at Oklahoma.
Despite that, the Cincinnati Bengals took a chance by selecting him with the 48th overall pick. With Jeremy Hill and Giovani Bernard already in the mix, there is a level of uncertainty that surrounds his role in the offense.
He does have the skills necessary to take control in the backfield, though, which makes him an intriguing option in fantasy football.
