Joe Mixon ranked as a top-10 RB by ESPN
David Kohl-USA TODAY Sports Joe Mixon has become one of the NFL’s best young running backs, and people outside Cincinnati are starting to take notice.
In ESPN’s ranking of the NFL’s top 10 running backs, Mixon came in at No. 8. The ranking was made using input from 50 league executives, coaches, scouts, and players. His highest ranking was fourth overall, while his lowest was 14th
Mixon was the Bengals’ best player in the second half of 2019, rushing for 817 yards and five scores over the final eight games. A few execs compared his build to Saquon’s, without the same explosion.
