Could Joe Mixon have a career season in his first year with the Houston Texans?

Veteran running back Joe Mixon had his career-best season in 2021. Mixon made his only Pro Bowl appearance while helping the Cincinnati Bengals reach Super Bowl LVI, rushing for a career-high 1,205 yards and 13 touchdowns on 292 attempts.

Although Mixon has always been one of the most talented running backs in the league, his career year is a testament to the greatness of the Bengals’ offense, which has attacked opponents in a variety of ways. Joe Burrow established himself as one of the best quarterbacks in the league, which also included wideouts Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.

Nearly three years later, Mixon finds himself in a similar situation. But instead of playing alongside an explosive trio in Cincinnati, he’ll take the field as a member of the Houston Texans.

Led by quarterback CJ Stroud, Mixon joins an offense that could be just as explosive as his days in Cincinnati. In the latest episode of Locked On Texans, Coty M. Davis and John Hickman discuss whether or not Houston’s offense could lead to a career year with the Texans.

“CJ is a phenomenal player,” Mixon said. “Obviously he was the rookie of the year, and that’s no coincidence. I think we have a great group of guys in this locker room.

“I was talking with DeMeco, and there’s a lot of guys running around, young, don’t know any better and ready to lash out. I was really lucky to be a part of something like that, so it is a great thing to happen in this situation and pick up where I left off. Definitely in a great position here, and really excited to start my new beginnings.
