Tempe, Ariz. - The inaugural NFL Veteran Combine featured 107 former NFL players, including Brady Quinn, Michael Sam and Felix Jones, all trying to impress scouts, but instead much of the talk of the event revolved around ridiculously slow 40-yard dash times provided by the NFL.
 
"They said I was a 4.6 or something, but I’ve been running 4.3s and 4.4s all through training," former Cleveland Browns wide receiver Carlton Mitchell said. "I think the lasers, I think it’s the first time they were using them. People that know me know that I’m not a 4.6 guy. When they told me that I said ‘What?’"
 
Mitchell, 26, was selected in the sixth round of the 2010 NFL Draft and ran a 4.49 40-yard dash at the combine. He was clocked at nearly the same a little more than a month later at the South Florida Pro Day.
 
When he left the Arizona Cardinals practice bubble where the 40s were being timed and he stepped on to the outdoor practice fields though, Mitchell shined and was one of the stars of the day. After the session, he was pulled aside and talked to by scouts from at least two NFL teams.
 
"I was training six days a week before I even knew about this. Once I found out the good news, I just upped everything a little bit," Mitchell said. "I had one [pass] that got away from me and that bothers me. First drop all offseason, but I felt pretty good. There’s certain things I still need to work on, of course, but I’m pretty happy for the most part."

Wish him luck.  I hope one of those teams was the Miami Dolphins.

All the best to him. He's a really good guy.

He seems to have all the tools. Not sure how he couldn't stick in Canada though. Hope he gets to a camp.

He and Shurron Pierson are two i felt another year woulda paid off big for them

Shurron had to go when he did. Money was extremely tight for him and he made the best decision he could for himself.
