Crazy that he was putting up numbers in the 60's that would still be studly today. 14k career all-purpose yards in 11 seasons.
And thanks for him willing to be the first to come to DC, that had to be a tough barrier to break.
Condolences to his family and friends.

RIP he was a great player. Not sure why but you never hear about the other two AA that joined the Redskins that same year.
RIP to an all time great player and person

RIP, glad to see he had a long productive life after his playing days were over. Condolences to his family and friends. Over 2800 receiving yards in 1962-63 is freaking crazy. They only played 14 games a year back then and as long as a DB didn't tackle a receiver as the ball was arriving there were no flags. That and lineman could not hold or grab so a clean pocket for a QB didn't last long. Mitchell definitely was one of the great all time Redskins.
