I don't think he'll be a star, but he'll have a decent career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made the right choice: new coach + new system = uncertainty, plus he's coming off of his best year. No saying whether or not he would be the "goto" receiver this year if he stayed. He'll get drafted today and make some teams roster as a specieal teamer. Great starting point and opportunity to move up from there. His attitude and speed will take him far.

The only thing he might have cost himself is money, but even that is debatable depending on a rookie pay-scale being implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think playing for skip holtz would have only improved his playing skills. He would have had more passes thrown to him this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another year of experience. Another year of learning how to play the position...all these things were lacking in his game. Guys with physical skills are a dime a dozen, not only at the NFL level, but in the NCAA also. Knowing how to get open, Knowing how to read and adjust, actually being able to catch the ball consistently, etc.It was easy to see Mitchell still needed a year of development.

Chris Johnson had $7-million guaranteed in his rookie contract. DeSean Jackson got a $1.35-million signing bonus.Mitchell will be more like Colston -- little money up front in the form of a bonus. Again, if he makes a roster, he's making $350,000 a year, minimum. Likely four years before he can find big money from a new contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
