Malcolm Mitchell, a standout WR from Georgia, was expected to be a rookie gem for the New England Patriots. Mitchell only lasted 4 quarters before that rookie season came to a halt.
The 4th round pick, who was injury prone throughout his college career, went down with a gruesome injury during the 4th quarter of the Patriots’ first preseason game vs the Saints in Foxboro Thursday night.
