One of the most controversial players in the draft, the Broncos brought Joe Mixon in for a visit to get to know him a little bit better.

By all accounts, the Broncos came away from that interview believing that Mixon’s issues were in his past, and that he’s a player who can definitely help this team.

With Devontae Booker emerging late last season a little bit, the Broncos would have an intriguing couple of running backs to pick from here with Mixon in the fold. This is a player that has a lot of speed, strength, vision, and pass catching ability.

Not only that, but Mixon has proven a very capable return specialist throughout his time in college.
