Eagles may pass on Oklahoma RB Joe Mixon due to his history of violence against women

The Eagles will have a decision to make about Oklahoma running back Joe Mixon. By talent alone, Mixon is the rare rusher who could be worthy of a first-round selection. But Mixon might be available to teams on the second or third day of the draft because of a 2014 arrest for punching a female student in the face and graphic video released of the incident in December.

The Eagles, along with other NFL teams, must decide if they want Mixon on their roster.

"I don't want to talk about a specific player," Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said at the league meetings last week.
