Joe Mixon slipped to the second round in the 2017 NFL Draft for trouble off the field during his college days at Oklahoma, and it seems like he hasn’t quite learned his lesson.
An arrest warrant has been issued for the Cincinnati Bengals running back for ‘aggravated menacing’ after Mixon reportedly pointed a gun at a woman and threatened to kill her.
