Cimini: AD Mitchell Most Impressive Jet This Offseason

Before the start of team OTA’s and minicamp about a month ago, we asked if Jets wide receiver AD Mitchell could be a breakout player on offense for Gang Green.  It’s pretty safe to say at this point that if he continues doing what he’s done up to this point in the team’s offseason program, the answer should be yes.

According to Rich Cimini of ESPN New York, Mitchell did more than any player on the roster to help himself in recent weeks.  If you’ve been keeping tabs on the Jets, that should come as no surprise.  One practice after another, Mitchell was the one player consistently being named by members of the media as being the best player in practice or making the biggest play on offense.

Some will predictably dismiss this is “doing it in shorts” and needing to show he can “get open when it counts”.  Thing is, Mitchell has already done that.  Mitchell got open consistently last season but the team’s disastrous quarterback situation hid that fact.  Then of course there are the box score watchers who will claim Mitchell had “stone hands” last season due to his six drops with Gang Green.
