I come to praise Chris Ballard, not to bury him.

Well, for one: Joe Mixon. The guy who is also notoriously bad in pass-pro and also played in 14 games like JT. And he didn't squeak in... he was 58th.

Mixon: 72.6 rush ypg, 4.1ypc, 94.6 scrimmage ypg, 12 tds

Taylor: 102.2 rush ypg, 4.7ypc, 111.9 scrimmage ypg, 12tds

To have him above JT at all, let alone a minimum of 42 guys between them, is silly. These aren't coaches or analysts.

Has Mixon ever dropped the ball at the 1/2 yard line?

No, but he did drop a girl in that restaurant in Oklahoma.

Yeah, Mixon's a head scratcher. Not just ahead of JT, but guys like Bijan Robinson and Kyren Williams as well.

Also, FWIW there are no OGs on the list.

I like Mixon's NFL game, but still, he couldn't carry JT's jock. Don't forget I'm a JT hater, and I still believe this to be true.
