@ezy8mobi I just read an article that most of his best plays were made late in preseason games against 4th string corners, and he wasn't a great route runner. However I understand completely, I'm a Lions fan and until Schwartz showed up we NEVER got to see players develop (99% of the Millen picks were scrubs tho). But in Detroit he'll be working out with one of the top WR's in the game in Calvin. He's got some talent. I just hope he can realize it..
Despite proving already what a threat he is in the redzone, coach Zorn would have little WRs like Randel-El and Santana Moss on the field instead of a big guy like Mitchell who is perfect for something like a fade pattern. Ooops! My bad...I forgot that QB Jason Campbell doesn't know how to throw a fade pattern. This is a micro-cosom to show how poorly managed the Redskins were last season. A Bill Walsh coached team would have played Mitchell more often....and at least in the redzone.
Why the skins are monkeying around with him is beyond me. the kid can play the QB's love him the DB's hate him. What more do you need. The coaches undecided "maybe we'll keep him for special team" DUH?
What are you talking about? How are the Skins "monkeying" around with him? He's still on the team, right? I doubt they cut him. The 5th WR on any team has to be able to play ST's. What's your point?
I totally agree here. What are they thinking at Redskins Park? This guy has shown time and again he is a deep threat and the Redskins ignore him. This, "rookie stamp" they put on players is a joke. They finally put him into the game against the Falcons and he caught both his passes for 11 yds each. Wake up Zorn!
Did anyone see the Steelers/Skins preseason game Sat night? Marko was pretty nice. Caught a fade TD in the corner of the endzone. Leaped up and snatched it. Reminds me of Plax Burress. Could def make the team and be a good redzone jump ball type td wr. Love his height and leaping ability.
Marko Mitchell looks pretty good. He's tall and can leap but looks a little slow... what was his 40 time? Do you think he can make the team this year? Huge Skins fan. Thx
@Circlechange13 naw... if he was like Randy he'd be tearing up the league right now. Not that I'm hating on the guy, he was just picked up by my Lions. I like his size 6'4 218, & it looks like he's got decent hands. He's got to be better than Bryant Johnson. His size alone gives him a legit shot to make the team. Other than CJ we got a bunch of little guys.
I bet he was getting clowned on when they had to lift the bar off his chest on the10th rep. He'll have problems holding onto the ball after the catch.
He's not projected to go in the first four rounds, but whoever gets him is getting a STEAL. He's got the size (6'4", 216) and speed (4.45) to be a great pro receiver.
why did redskins release him. He did not get more chance to prove himeself.

This guy not only knows how to catch, but he can make things happen after the catch.
As a Redskin fan I feel this guy is our Marques Colston. He may actually wind up being better than all of our receivers other than Santana Moss.
Marko can really be a compliment to Santana. But that will all depend on Jason Campbell.

WELCOME TO THE REDSKINS!!!
Now since we have a lot of young WR's, (Devin Thomas, Malcolm Kelly, Marko Mitchell) maybe we can get rid of 1 of our old heads (Randle El, Thrash)

Hopefully Randle El.

I'd want Thrash to go before Randle El, but I understand where you're comin from

I agree, get rid of Thrash before Randle El. Randel El still has some game.

IF one of Thomas and Kelly step up this year I would prefer we get rid of both Thrash and Randle El. Both of them have out stayed their welcome.
