An exceptional player who is both dynamic and versatile, Joe Mixon, Houston Texans’ running back was drafted by the team in the 2017 NFL season. With such high expectations entering the league, Mixon has proven himself to be a prime player for the Bengals' offense.
Career Achievements and Playing Style
Mixon has proven to be one of the more explosive and durable running backs in the NFL. He has size, strength, and agility that fit him well into short-yardage situations and open-field situations. He has always ranked among the first in the league with rushing to their credit, with his stature as a Pro Bowl selection and helping the team continue with contending the pace of the AFC North. The secondary tool for Mixon is he is a good receiver. He often catches passes out of the backfield, making him a dual-threat weapon for the Texans' offense.
Off-Field Challenges
Mixon has had success on the field, but his career was marred by a scandal during his college years that led to a suspension and a loss of reputation. He actively works to correct such a mistake and concentrate on his football career.

How NFL Players InvestRecent Frustrations on the Field
In the past couple of seasons, Mixon has been somewhat shown to still be a force but sometimes is unable to control his emotions. A simple incident in the Week 10 game against the Lions wherein he threw away the tablet of a coach out of frustration for himself shows that he still has anger issues. The NFL hasnt shown leniency and has levied a heavy fine on him. This act showed how the pressures of the game can get to even the most veteran players, and questions emerged about him keeping his cool in high-pressure situations.
Into the Future
As Joe Mixon continues to grow in his career, both on and off the field as a leader, managing emotions will be key. If he can hone that intensity to come out productive in terms of performance, then he will definitely be of much more value to the Texans for a long time.
