Saints meet with Joe Mixon before Oklahoma pro day: report

Some NFL teams were upset the league didn't invite former Oklahoma running back Joe Mixon to the combine last week because it limited the opportunity to fully vet him as a prospect.

With the Sooners holding their pro day Wednesday, teams will have a chance to see Mixon work out, but a few -- including the New Orleans Saints -- have already reportedly interviewed him.

According to a report by NFL.com's Aditi Kinkhabwala, the Saints were one of four teams to meet privately with Mixon Tuesday, along with the Detroit Lions, Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns.

He is the best all around 3 down back in the draft to fit SP offense. He will cut into Marks work load and probably make Mark expendable if all goes well. McCaffrey is the accent to the offense that would not cut into Marks work load.

Mixon and McCaffrey, or The M&M Brothers, would give the saints a two headed monster in the backfield that the saints have not had in years. Just dreaming.

If all goes well, welcome aboard is all I can say. I believe in second chances and a short leash
