Linebacker with the sense of urgency and nose for the football that helped him stack big production totals. Mitchell is patient and efficient in play diagnosis, but he needs to improve his hands and take-on strength to make up for his lack of short-area athleticism. He ran poorly at his pro day and that shows up on tape with his inability to maintain leverage when pursuing runners wide. Mitchell’s tackle numbers look great, but the missed tackles are an issue, as are his athletic deficiencies in coverage. Mitchell is unlikely to be drafted but should find his way into a camp.
