Mitchell's tape through two seasons shows more bad than good, so it perhaps shouldn't come as a surprise that the Jets drafted a pair of pass catchers (TE Kenyon Sadiq, WR Omar Cooper) in the first round this April. Both rookies, like Mitchell, have profiles boosted by elite physical tools rather than consistent college production. The Colts drafted Mitchell in the second round (52nd overall) on the strength of his 4.34 40, 39.5-inch vertical and 136-inch broad jump at the 2024 Combine (at 6-foot-2, 205, no less). As a rookie, he never progressed beyond the No. 4 WR role, with a high target rate and low catch rate on limited snaps. Mitchell seemed to get open easily enough, but he made a number of sloppy mistakes and lacked the physicality expected of a 205-pound wideout. It was more of the same in 2025, until a November trade to the Jets led to a huge boost in playing time. Mitchell again caught fewer than half of his targets (24 of 58 in eight games for Gang Green), but it was enough volume to warrant interest on fantasy waiver wires. The Jets seem ready to replace Mitchell, but he's only 23 years old and can at least use his speed to clear out space for more polished pass catchers.
