Bengals picks

-

Bengals second-round draft pick Joe Mixon said he wants to be the “best teammate” during a news conference at Paul Brown Stadium. in a one-year suspension at Oklahoma.

The choice was panned immediatel­y by fans at the draft in Philadelph­ia, who booed when Bengals Hall of Fame tackle Anthony Munoz announced the selection.

The Bengals made Mixon available for interviews Saturday, saying it would be the only chance to ask him about his past. Future interviews will be restricted by the club to football-related questions, part of the club's

efforts to take the focus off Mixon's past conduct.

"He gets an opportunit­y to move forward and write his script from there on," coach Marvin Lewis said Friday night. 9. John Ross, WR, Washington
