The Facts: The Bengals took a lot of criticism for the selection of Mixon, whose draft status plummeted due to character concerns. However, Mixon will likely get a heavy dose of playing time right away.
Diehards Line:
This according to ESPN.com's Katherine Terrell, who notes that Mixon can be used in a variety of ways, whether it's as a traditional running back or as a pass-catcher. He could also be the Bengals' kick returner. While wide receiver John Ross could make an impact, Terrell believes Mixon is poised to get the most playing time as a rookie.
