Declares for 2017 NFL Draft
Mixon declared for the 2017 NFL Draft on Thursday, Brooke Pryor of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
The talented but controversial back heads to the NFL following an 180-yard, two-touchdown showing in Oklahoma's Sugar Bowl win over Auburn. Mixon (6-1, 226) amassed 2,027 rushing yards (6.8 YPC) and 894 receiving yards to go with 26 offensive touchdowns during his two seasons as a Sooner. He regularly showed elite traits as a runner, including his vision, speed, power, and pass catching ability out of the backfield. However, as will be the case all through the draft process and beyond, the video from 2014 of Mixon violently striking a woman in the face is an extremely troubling mark on his resume that raises character obvious concerns. As Pryor notes in her article, Mixon has first-round talent according to some NFL scouts, but his off field issues (which include an incident with a campus parking attendant from this season) will likely result in a drop in his draft stock.

2014 Fantasy Outlook
After Leonard Fournette and maybe Dalvin Cook, Mixon might have been rated the top runner in this class. At about 6-foot-2, 210 pounds, Mixon is a lanky runner who might look like a more speed-oriented Marcus Lattimore. It's not clear whether he'll be able to see the field immediately, as Oklahoma already has a returning high-ranking recruit in running back Keith Ford, but Mixon will be expected to contribute sooner rather than later.
