Joe Mixon HS Assault Allegation Recanted Amid NFL Teams' Reported Investigation

NEW ORLEANS, LA - JANUARY 02: Joe Mixon #25 of the Oklahoma Sooners reacts after scoring a touchdown against the Auburn Tigers during the Allstate Sugar Bowl at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on January 2, 2017 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

A pair of NFL teams are reportedly looking into a since-recanted allegation that former Oklahoma Sooners running back Joe Mixon assaulted a girl when he was in high school, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

That report comes on the heels of comments from NFL.com's Gil Brandt, who appeared on PFT Live Wednesday and said he would stray from selecting Mixon if he was heading up a team's personnel department.

"I just wouldn’t draft him," Brandt said, according to Pro Football Talk's Michael David Smith. "His problems started back in high school."

Howard Eskin of 94 WIP in Philadelphia reported he's heard Mixon is off the Eagles' draft board amid the investigation.

In a video released by the Norman, Oklahoma, Police Department in February as part of the investigation into Mixon punching Amelia Molitor in a local sandwich shop, the Dallas Morning News' Brady Vardeman noted the lawyer for Molitor "reads from a report from a man named Anthony Hernandez, who alleged Mixon punched another girl in high school and got away with it."

"I know for a fact he threw my daughter to the ground and hit her," Hernandez said in the report. "I went to the school and ... they hid him in the office. He got no punishment. The police even came. I was escorted off the campus as if I did something wrong. These are simply the facts, he's a woman beater."

It was also noted Mixon denied that allegation.

After Rapoport's report, Hernandez's lawyer Blake Johnson gave Florio a statement from his client in which he said in part: "I do not believe Joe ever did anything to hurt my daughter."
Mixon was previously charged with a misdemeanor and placed on probation after he punched Molitor in July 2014, breaking her jaw and cheekbone.

Video of the incident was released to the public in December, and Mixon made a public apology shortly thereafter.

"It’s all on me the reason why we're in this position right now," he said, according to the Associated Press (via USA Today). "I take full responsibility of what happened that night. It's never OK to hit a woman. Never. I will preach to anybody. It's never OK. Hopefully to people around the world will learn from my mistake. I'm willing to teach."

In a video that was released by the Norman, Oklahoma, Police Department in February, Molitor said Mixon assaulted her after she refused sexual advances made by Mixon and his friends.

According to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio, multiple league sources believe Mixon could slide into Round 2 or 3 of next week's NFL draft, while a separate source suggested he could go undrafted.

This changes things for me.

It's no longer an incident, it's a profile


I think he's off my draft board completely now.


No way I take him until after the 3rd, probably the 5th.

The father also came out and recanted his statement.

This.

LOLaz

It's fake news dude, most likely spewed by the Broncos front office.

Someone is going to get such a steal and we're going to be so pissed that we didnt just give him the chance.

Fake news but I hope this drops him in the 3rd round to us

It was recanted

Raiders will get Reuben Foster and Broncos will get Mixon while we draft Ryan Leaf 2.0

Oh my. LMAO

Who the **** cares? We need players like him to win. I'm sick of the pussification Of the chiefs and it's fanbase.

He might be screwed. Why take a chance when the draft is deep and numerous SB champs don't have all world RB's. PR nightmare even with Hill breaking out of the mold.

No video of Hills incident help him a great deal.

The Chiefs are the perfect home for Mixon.

Yes they are. Especially if he can slap our vaginal qb around...

you must have not seen the sonogram

“I have recently learned that a comment I made about Joe Mixon on social media a few years ago is now receiving a lot of attention. I want to explain that comment and clarify that I do not believe Joe ever did anything to hurt my daughter,” Hernandez wrote.

“My daughter went to Freedom High School with Joe, and they have been friends for much of their lives. Once, when they were in school together, my daughter had a minor disagreement with some of her classmates that got blown out of proportion. Like any father would, I reacted emotionally. Unfortunately, I did so before I had all the facts. Now, having talked to my daughter and investigated the whole story, I realize that I was mistaken about Joe’s involvement. I definitely overreacted, and I regret that my words might have given some people the wrong impression about Joe. I know that Joe did not hurt my daughter, did not intend to, and would not do so.

“Joe and my daughter are still good friends. Joe is a great kid with a bright future in front of him, and he is welcome in my home anytime.

“My family and I value our privacy. I hope that my statement puts this matter to rest. We will not respond to further media inquiries about this.”

Yeah he is. I don't see anyone sticking up for a future assault victim when people here are so quick to side with him.

Maybe he could slap the ugly off those cheerleaders.

This draft is deep at RB. Pass

He and Reuben can play Arena league now.

In other news Hernandez is driving a new Benz with custom plates "THNKSJO"

That would have been Manzel

I am not siding with him, I think he is a piece of shit, but I see your point. There were a lot of people defending him or placing the blame on the girl.

Lolaz

He punched a girl three years ago when he was 18 years old. He's been a model citizen since as far as we know. Who gives a shit. If he's available in the second draft him. If all the QBs are gone at 27, trade down and dart him. Mixon is the best RB in the draft. Getting him in the second would be a steal.

I didn't think about it like that.

I've changed my mind. I'm on the Mixon wagon now.

Cool, I'd take him with a comp pick still. Just makes it more likely he gets there.

#30 posts in and not one of you fuggers are asking for pics of "the daughter"? srsly, this place is slipping........

i was just about to ask, 'did she deserve it?' ROFL

i joke :D
