[edit] Professional career
[edit] New York Giants
Mix was signed by the New York Giants as an undrafted free agent following the 2006 NFL Draft, in which two fellow Auburn receivers (Devin Aromashodu and Ben Obomanu) were drafted. Mix spent the entire 2006 season on the Giants practice squad, but after an impressive training camp and preseason he managed to crack into the team's active roster to start the 2007 season. He played each of the first four games, recording three catches for 39 yards in one game, but was waived on October 3, 2007 to make room on the roster for return specialist Domenik Hixon (who was claimed off waivers from the Denver Broncos).[1]
[edit] Washington Redskins
On November 20, 2007, Mix was signed by the Washington Redskins off the Giants practice squad, reuniting him with Jason Campbell - his quarterback at Auburn.[2] On January 5, 2008, Mix recovered a muffed kickoff during a wild card playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks.
Mix broke a rib in the team's second preseason game in 2008. He was released by the team during final cuts on August 30 and spent the season out of football.
[edit] Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Mix signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on January 24, 2009. He was released on May 6, 2009 after legal troubles.[3]

[edit] Legal trouble
Mix is accused of contributing to the delinquency of a minor by having consensual sex with a 15-year-old girl. The girl's mother reported the incident to investigators after she told them she saw text messages exchanged between Mix and her daughter.[4]
Mix was acquitted of the charges and was ordered by the judge not to go public with it after the case was over.
