  • Mitchell dominated one-on-one drills against Nate Wiggins and Chidobe Awuzie, shouting 'burnt toast' and 'I told you' after each catch.
  • He hauled in four targets during 11-on-11 work, including a 40-yard sideline reception from Anthony Richardson.
  • A fan-shared video of his practice highlights on X went viral, amplifying attention on his breakout camp form.
  • Mitchell credits a surge in team energy and a motivating speech by Quenton Nelson for fueling his consistency.
  • At 6’4" with long arms and strong hands, he commands deep safety help and opens space for other Colts playmakers.
