NFL Draft 2017: Oklahoma Sooners RB Joe Mixon Selected by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2nd Round

With the 48th overall pick (Round 2), the Cincinnati Bengals have selected Oklahoma running back Joe Mixon.

Mixon has all of the tools to become a generational talent. We’ve mentioned that his ceiling is somewhere close to that of Le’Veon Bell, and we’re not the only ones who feel that way. He’s an all-around back who will be able fit into any type of offensive package. He can be just as valuable on third down as he is on first down. Basically, his skill set translates perfectly to the modern NFL.
