Is he a free agent now or is he draft eligible?

[Windy]

Kiper had him ranked 5th for DB's at the beginning of the season before he got hurt.

[sodar21]

There were plenty of people who thought he was better than Hughes.

how old is he?

[LocCsta]

how old is he?around 22 i think

Mixon is small but a very good man-to-man cover back. I guess he's a supplemental draft option now?

"Is he a free agent now or is he draft eligible?"

Supp. Draft, but it's a poor move on his part, IMO.

if he can play, it will all pay off in the end

Um...he didn't really have a choice.

And the NFL may still allow him to be selected in this draft, as the only reason he didn't declare was because he was seeking a sixth season of eligibility.

Yeah, I remember him getting messed up at the beginning of the season.

[P-L]

Does anyone know for sure if he will be allowed in the draft? He isn't an underclassman and has completed his eligibility. I thought anyone who used up their eligibility is available for the draft and only underclassmen had to declare. Can anyone clarify?

[draftguru151]

Scott said he will be in the normal draft.

[LB51]

i think he'll go anywhere from 3rd,4th or 5th round

[rainbeaukid2]

he could end up being a steal for a team as he will probably fall because of his injury
