He's a stout, defensive tackle who can stunt off the snap due to his quickness. Mitchell can plug gaps and running lanes, causing traffic and making plays at the line of scrimmage. I expect him to continue that dominance this week. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Note - 3.0 GPA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/501_mitchell/status/1961827289316069552","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/501_mitchell/status/1961827289316069552 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
