Bengals OC Brian Callahan wants Joe Mixon to be an every down running back

The majority of the attention following the draft has gone to how dangerous this Cincinnati Bengals’ offense can be with Joe Burrow throwing to Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd.

What some have missed is how much space should be freed up for running back Joe Mixon who has been reunited with his favorite offensive line coach Frank Pollack. Cincinnati’s offensive coordinator, Brian Callahan, doesn’t want Mixon to be limited in anyway from making an impact on the field, though. That starts with becoming an every down running back.

“I don’t want Joe to leave the field, personally, and I think he’s up to that challenge,” Callahan told Local 12 WKRC.
