Southern Illinois edge-bender with top-end sack production
Chauncey Mixon’s best calling card is proven disruption: Southern Illinois says he finished his career with 41.5 tackles for loss and 16.0 sacks, marks that tied for seventh in school history. That kind of backfield violence matters because it signals a linebacker who can tilt game plans, not just rack up clean-up tackles. In the 2009 preseason, he was also recognized as a Sports Network third-team All-America selection, which fits the profile of a high-impact, high-motor defender. If your team wants a relentless outside linebacker with production and punch, Mixon is exactly the type.
