Joe Mixon's controversial career at Oklahoma is over. The redshirt sophomore running back will reportedly forgo his last two years of eligibility and enter the 2017 NFL draft.
Brooke Pryor of The Oklahoman and Adam Schefter of ESPN reported the news Thursday.
Mixon, 20, rushed for 1,274 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2016. He was the team leader in rushing while splitting time with Samaje Perine, flashing an explosive skill set that makes him one of the most talented runners in the 2017 class.
However, Mixon will enter the draft with a host of character concerns.
