In his senior year he was 22/26 on the shorter XP and 20/29 on fg's. He was 4/6 under 30 yards 11/12 30-39 yards and 0 for 3 over 50 yards.
He can be a backup, but he isn't a pro kicker. What he is right now is a pro punter and a very. very good emergency kicker.
Not gonna lie, I’m hoping he’s so impressive that he ends up winning the job. He’s only getting a chance because Joseph & Seibert are failing, so it’d be cool to see him come in and win it out of nowhereI say just give the job to Gillan. He's got a great kicker nickname.
I thought Mitchell was really good as a #2 corner. I think we are really deep at CB this yearKind of seems like Mitchell is slowly locking down the spot opposite Ward. Perhaps I haven’t looked hard enough but it seems as though things have been a bit quiet on the Greedy front the past few practices also.
Honestly if he does indeed hold down the spot heading into the season, I have to commend Mitchell for not just moving aside for a guy who was getting a bunch of first team reps at OTAs (whilst getting plenty of publicity for it). Guy just went about his business quietly and performed on the daily to earn/reclaim his spot on the unit.
Just saying I personally have a high level of respect for approaches and players like that. Still some preseason and practices left so we’ll see.
This is a great point. But, if you only carry one guy to do both kicking and punting, then who is the holder? Backup QB?While I think the majority of teams will oppose it, I truly believe there's a handful of teams that will experiment with keeping a kicker who can also punt or vice versa. That team will be able to add an extra dressed player each weak to combat matchups, (good WRs means the team can dress an extra CB for instance) or whatever. I'm very intrigued by this potential opportunity to gain an edge vs the majority of the NFL.
