As I wrote in\u00a0January after Oklahoma’s bowl game, Joe Mixon will get drafted, and it will be high pick, not a low one.\u00a0 Today,\u00a0a top scout for the Green\u00a0Bay Packers\u00a0who attended\u00a0the Sooner Pro Day in Norman\u00a0was quoted, \u00a0“He’s gonna be gone before we have a shot.” #<\/s>OUPRODAY<\/b><\/span><\/u><\/a>. The Packers draft 29th.\u00a0 Even if Mixon slips down into the 2nd round. many of my readers suggested strongly that Mixon would never get drafted and would never play in the League.<\/p>\n

Mixon’s excellent workout in the OU Pro Day put the future NFL running back in the\u00a0top group\u00a0at that position.<\/p>\n

From the Sporting News, “Consider the NFL’s facade of blackballing Mixon to be finished. The reality is, he’s going to go a lot higher than the league would like.”<\/p>\n
