My Take
What I admire about Joe Mixon is that he is a grinder, not a glamour act. Coming out of Oakley, California and earning All-Big 12 honors at Oklahoma before the Bengals took him in the second round, he built his reputation yard by punishing yard. Running back is one of football's most thankless, body-punishing jobs, and Mixon has stuck with it through the long haul. To me he embodies the kind of athlete whose value shows up in the gritty interior plays the highlight reels skip. That blue-collar persistence is exactly the trait I find most worth respecting in a pro.
