season is over. On Saturday, the with an ankle injury. And that means rookie workload should, in theory, be increasing.Hill, a second-round pick in 2014, Victor Soderstrom Men Jersey carried the ball 37 times for 116 yards and no touchdowns this season. He's never really had a substantial role, racking up no more than seven carries in a single game. Instead, it's been Mixon who's gotten the majority of the carries. Still, the news is noteworthy mainly because it means Mixon won't lose out on any more playing time to Hill.To this point, Mixon has garnered 98 carries, 284 yards, and two touchdowns. He's averaging 2.9 yards per carry. For context, consider notable bust averaged 3.3 yards per carry in his career. So no, Mixon hasn't lived up to his second-round billing (he likely would've been a first-round pick if ).That doesn't mean Mixon will continue to average Luke Schenn Kids Jersey 2.9 yards per carry forever. He's only eight games into his career. And with Hill out of the picture, he's going to get plenty of opportunities to flash signs of improvement. It's what he's been asking for.At one point earlier this season, "Yeah, that's frustrating," Mixon said last month, via the Paul Dehner. "I felt like Le'Veon Bell got the ball 35 times. I get it Oliver Ekman-Larsson Jersey seven. All in the first half then don't touch the ball again. Jeremy Hill got one touch in the second half. It was frustrating to us running backs. We are in the room and feel like we are a part of the offense. If it worked in the first half why not do it in the second?" If Bengals linebacker is considered a reliable source, you should expect Mixon to thrive in the games to come. According to Burfict, .Yeah, "Le'Veon is not as good as Le'Veon thinks he is," Burfict said last month Brad Richardson Women Jersey , per the "So for him to go rattin' on Twitter to talk about my teammate, it's a little bit beyond me. Joe is way better than him. I mean, I play Joe every day in practice and he just has better qualities."Joe is better than him. Put it like that." As for Hill, this could mark the end of his time in Cincinnati. He's scheduled to become a free agent after the season. If this is the end of his Bengals career, he'll finish with 2,873 rushing yards and 29 rushing touchdowns. He never did live up to the hype after his Nick Cousins Kids Jersey 1,124-yard rookie season.
