The National Football League's official Twitter account failed to include Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon in a video montage with a tweet promoting the 2021 NFL Draft that said, "The amount of talent of the 2017 NFL Draft RB class is simply unfair." And it got the attention of the Bengals' official account in addition to former Bengals assistant coach Kyle Caskey.
Caskey, an assistant offensive line coach for the Bengals from 2010 to 2013 and running backs coach from 2014 to 2019 who most recently served as the Detroit Lions' running backs coach, tweeted that he would take Mixon over all six running backs featured in the video: the Carolina Panthers' Christian McCaffrey, the Minnesota Vikings' Dalvin Cook, the New Orleans Saints' Alvin Kamara, the Green Bay Packers' Aaron Jones, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Leonard Fournette and James Conner, the former Pittsburgh Steelers running back who signed Tuesday with the Arizona Cardinals.

From Caskey:
Caskey tweeted last week that he recently moved back to Cincinnati with his family after being shut out of the NFL coach hiring cycle. The Lions' RBs coach for the past two seasons, Caskey was let go after last season along with several members of head coach Matt Patricia's staff.
