"Mitchell posted a 4.78 40-yard dash, 3.97 20-yard shuttle, 7.16 three-cone drill and 37-inch vertical at the Oakland Under Armour Combine."
That's a little concerning though. A 4.8 is unlikely to cut it as a starting CB in the Pac-10. Hopefully he'll get quicker or we're looking at him for safety.
pay zero attention to the 40 time. that can be fixed. pay more attention to the vertical which highlights the explosiveness and the 3 cone drill which highlights change of direction...and those are pretty fantastic #'s for a kid who's probably 20lbs away from playing college football.
I think that 40 times are almost worthless since most plays take place within 20 yards of the LOS. 40 times for o-linemen are especially worthless because when is the last time you saw a lineman run 40 yards to make a block. By the time they reach 40 yards, the play will be over.

Never a bad thing
Hope he works out better than some of the other players who have shown up early. So far the only ones that have stayed are Drew (D.J.) Davis and Darron Thomas. Other that came here early didn't last long: Jordan Carey, Johnny DuRocher, and now Chris Harper.

Ya maybe seeing Eugene in January isn't the best first impression...

According to other reports that was a time he ran as a SO and on a very slow surface. Anyways he sounds like a great get since Cal and SC have been talking to him recently, and UO wanted to get a commit before he took any visits to Cal. He also had a visit scheduled to Florida that he has now canceled due to his commitment to UO. Sounds like a very solid commit.
"Mitchell is a tall (5-11) corner that is very fluid in his movements as he demonstrated tremendous footwork during the agility webs. He also possesses very long arms, and his WR skills make him a threat to pick the ball off at anytime. Once he becomes stronger he will become that complete package as a cornerback at the next level. During one-on-ones he was able to come out of his backpedal like a dragster getting the green light. His performance throughout the day earned him DB MVP."
Just read that on DSA. He won DB MVP at the NorCal Nike Camp.
