The Oklahoma Sooners hosted Pro Day on Wednesday morning giving NFL Franchises a chance to vet those on campus including Joe Mixon. As is common knowledge at this point, Mixon was barred from participating in the NFL Combine. Meeting with four teams prior to the Pro Day according the NFL Network, there seems to be continuing interest in the polarizing figure of this year’s draft. Considered to be first round talent, the running back failed to disappoint while participating in every drill.
However, there were plenty of other candidates hoping to impress scouts including the likes of Dominique Whaley. Remaining undrafted out of college, the running back mentioned that his football career wasn’t over. After suffering a gruesome injury in 2013, the former walk-on continues to work toward the ultimate goal.
