Adonai Mitchell

The Athletic’s James Boyd reports WR Adonai Mitchell “continues to flash his potential” during Colts OTAs.

Mitchell has made consistent acrobatic downfield grabs in 7-on-7 drills during OTAs, catching the attention of beat writers and Colts coaches alike. Boyd said on Thursday, Anthony Richardson “launched a deep ball down the sideline to Mitchell, who, after beating cornerback Darrell Baker contorted his body to make an over-the-shoulder grab that drew a roar of approval from the offense. That highlight-reel play explains why the Colts were willing to take a swing on Mitchell despite just one year of big-time production from him in college.” Mitchell, the 52nd overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft, posted an explosive 55/845/11 line in his final collegiate season (his only one at Texas). Mitchell should function as a pure downfield threat for the big-armed Richardson in 2024.
