Q: When you are studying film, what do you focus on or look for?
Mitchell: I will watch myself first from previous games to correct mistakes to further improve my game. I focus heavily on how defenses will give away the coverages they play. How they will line up and move before the snap that will indicate which look the secondary will give. Also watch specific players that I will be lining up against, to look for ways to win 1 on 1 matchups.
Q: What separates you from other players at your position?
Mitchell: I am a big, physical receiver that can contribute anywhere on the field. Contributions throughout my college career in blocking schemes really sets me apart from other receivers, and also my ability to play special teams is something that not all receivers can do. I also believe that my ability to break tackles and create YAC yards is an aspect of my game that separates me from others.

Mitchell: Leadership, dedication and a high football IQ.
