I am not sure as to how anyone is comparing Rice to Mitchell, but think about it this way. Rice was pretty much always on the field when the offense was out there, meaning that he had a ton more oppertunitys to catch or run with the ball. Where as Mitchell really only got the ball on punt and kick returns, and depending on how the D is playing really dictates how many punt and kick returns he will get a crack at.

Other than some of the "trick" plays on offense Mitchell really never played that much offense, but he made the most of it when he got the ball on special teams.
