Bulls in the Pros: Carlton Mitchell

The Bulls continue to make impacts in the profs and this time, it's a player on the offensive side of the ball (seems that there are quite a few defensive players making strides out there). 3rd year pro Carlton Mitchell (6-3 215-pounds) finally made his debut for the Browns, catching two passes for 15 yards, his first two catches of his young career, in a losing effort against the Ravens.

Mitchell finished his career with 105 receptions for 1648 yards and 9 touchdowns during his time in Tampa, making him one of the best deep threats in program history. Standing at 6-3, Mitchell was always a huge, imposing presence on the field, making him a nightmare for defensive backs to cover on the edges. Since being drafted in the 6th round by the Browns, Mitchell has dealt with injuries since he has been drafted by the Browns, he has dealt with several injuries that have kept him off the field. But now that he is healthy and showing his skill level at practices, he is getting onto the field. Those two catches against the Ravens could just be the beginning of a bright young career for Mitchell.
