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.
