I was SHOCKED that this guy was on the list. Stunned.

As a Skins fan, I remember watching him twice a year and him being good. His numbers surprised me. But, I do remember him being a big play guy.

Though in all fairness, Bobby Mitchell was a HB/Flanker. He RAN for almost 3000 yards and 20 TD's, which inflates his stats considerably Give us more trivia!

 

[MarshallRob]

Once all the obvious receivers were gone, it had to be someone who was really good for enough years to get to close to the 100 game mark, but whose career must have ended relatively early to avoid extra games that dragged down the PPG average. I remember how great he and Roy Green both were back in the early to mid-1980's but neither guy could stay healthy.

Give us more trivia!

Mitchell was a HB for four years in Cleveland. Once he got to Washington, he was a FL. And, he was a backup HB to Jim Brown in Cleveland, so he wasn't exactly carrying the load.His Washington stats, as FL, would be 98 games and 7.7 ppg. That included an extremely unproductive final season. That 7.7 jumps up to 8.7 without that final season.
