He knocked her out with one punch and her jaw hit the table on the way down.

I don't think the Chiefs are willing to take DV guys in back to back drafts but who knows. Purely on the field he'd fill a need.

People want to talk about gender equality then get their panties in a bunch when a young athlete in tremendous shape knocks out a normal college girl who had the audacity to take umbrage at said player calling her friend a fag

There's a ton of scumbags in every profession out there. Mixon looks good on tape and seems incredibly athletic. I'd draft him high up if other GMs coveted him too.

That second part didn't happen, at least not from her. Mixon claims it was one of her friends. And in reality who knows if happened at all?

quote:

Mixon said the racial slur was said not to him, but about him. Molitor’s male friend has his back turned to Mixon as Mixon turns to leave. The police interviewer calls that strange, that someone would address a racial slur about Mixon to a table that included Smith, Mixon’s teammate, friend and fellow African-American.

Not that it stopped his lawyers from wording it as if maybe she did to make her look bad:

quote:

The issue of the slur has been at the heart of the backlash against Molitor in the OU community, with the woman receiving abuse and harassment based on the mistaken belief that she used a slur against Mixon. Many media outlets covered the story as if she had. Mixon and his attorneys certainly didn’t go out of their way to disabuse fans of that idea—in court papers, Mixon alleged he heard Molitor “and/or members of her party” use racial slurs.

Who knows if the racial slur really happened but OU fans were able to latch onto it for the purpose of driving her completely away from the school because breaking someone's face is no reason to lose football games

:spergin:: Well they weren't loving before he hit her so it isn't domestic violence so it wasn't that bad!

There is another black, Oklahoma runningback sitting at that table, and if he didn't report hearing anyone drop that word then I have a really hard time accepting Mixon's description of the event.

I say this as someone who wants Ray Rice to get another chance in this league: I find it suspicious that Mixon only apologized and took responsibility after the video came out. I think people can change and deserve second chances, even Tyreek Hill. I just question whether or not Mixon actually learned.

I'd be fairly surprised if he went in the first, although that talk from a few weeks ago about him possibly not being drafted was always obviously bullshit. I'd imagine he might be a late second or third rounder unless he just bombs his interviews.

There was ongoing litigation. Anything he said could be used as an admission against him in the lawsuit. Every time it was brought up he basically just said my lawyers said I can't talk about that.

Mixon isn't a first round talent. He's big and shifty but he's got fumbleitis and isn't a bruiser. Perine was their guy for short yardage stuff. He was Oklahoma's shotgun back and showed pretty crumby blocking too. I'd see him easily going in the top 100 though. The only thing I remember being surefire blacklisted in the NFL is sister loving with that OT a few years back.

I disagree with this. Well I agree he isn't a bruiser but I think he does enough and is good enough out of the backfield as a receiver to be really attractive to NFL teams. If the whole thing with the girl never happened I think he'd be a pretty good bet to go later in the first.

It's also not like he was sharing carries with some nobody, Perine was a preeeeety goddamned good college back.
