The most popular group in the second round of the N.F.L. draft was nearly 3,000 miles away from Philadelphia: the Washington Huskies secondary. Three members — cornerbacks Kevin King and Sidney Jones, and safety Budda Baker — were taken in the first 11 picks Friday night. But none of those choices drew the attention that Cincinnati’s pick at No. 48 over all did: Oklahoma running back Joe Mixon, who was not invited to the scouting combine because in 2014 he had been filmed punching a woman, breaking bones in her face.

He was young drunk, she was young drunk and did provoke it. But one thing is certain, he laid her ass out.
Joe performed exemplary in every game last year. It probably cost him the Heisman.
Hey, off topic, but what happens when one of these guys decides to “transition” to being a woman and remain in the NFL? And then a fellow player, for one reason or another decides to punch shove or otherwise assault this person...domestic violence, what...?
What?? That is supposed to be the Cowboys that draft those guys.
Can he rush, catch and block? If so, what's the problem?
Fans have long ago accepted that players are allowed to live less than stellar off-field lives as long as they win ball games.
Not something you should gloat over.
More one-sided distortion from the NY Times. For anyone who is not familiar with the incident, please review the video (it’s online in a number of places) - the woman (if you want to call her that) hit Mixon first and he responded. While one can argue the merits of his suspension, the Times and the rest of the lame-brain media portrayed this guy as some sort of woman-beating maniac who was unworthy of college athletics.
Making stupid mistakes...
Granted his mistake was much more egregious than most
He played two solid years after the event and will probably be a great pick...
Bill Clinton should have played football.
I suppose he is irredemable?
Sluts surround athletes. And athletes aren’t necessarily the brightest of the bunch. Alcohol + women + low IQ + macho = disaster.
That’s some heavy math.
