Got my first all-22 exposure to Adonai Mitchell tonight and I came away impressed. Such an effortless athlete that moves with intent and doesn’t waste motion

Adonai Mitchell (Texas WR) has the talent to be a late 1st round pick in the NFL Draft.

Adonai Mitchell is either the next Allen Robinson or Michael Gallup imo.
Moves extremely well for his size and creates separation off the line with exceptional ball tracking skills.
Good draft capital otw and be a late 1st/early 2nd round rookie pick.

#Horns WR Adonai Mitchell had only ONE drop for the 2023 season on 86 targets. Mitchell caught 55 passes for 845 yards (15.4 YPC) & 11 TD.
His drop rate % is the lowest of all "top tier" WRs in the '24 NFL Draft.
Here's some of his best plays from this past season:
Daniel Harms
Adonai Mitchell, Texas WR #5, is working as the X against a CB with inside leverage. Stems this vertical with inside intention, then gives the head and body to the post while the CB opens his hips to the sideline. The CB course corrects, and Mitchell blows by him downfield.
Kyle Lindemann
Texas WR Adonai Mitchell could see a serious rise at the NFL Combine this week. An elite blend of size, speed, and ball tracking make him a dangerous deep threat. Mitchell, who goes by “AD,” had just 1 drop to his name since 2022. #HookEm
Steve Smith Sr.

The Adonai Mitchell episode is now live, folks. Here's a snippet of it where I explain why he reminds me of CeeDee Lamb, and what his role at Texas actually was. Link to the full video is below.

The Ceedee Lamb/Adonai Mitchell comp couldn’t be worse in my opinion
Adonai Mitchell will never be able to move like this after the catch, it’s actually his biggest weakness…
#NFLDraft2024
I see the nuance flashes and movement, just ceedee was a different breed and insanely explosiveness.
Ray G
He plays like CeeDee to me. I'm not projecting him to be 88, but the way he moves and his body position at the catch point are smooth like Ceedee, but I agree on different players. Film/Data

Nobody in this class besides maybe Nabers was on ceedee’s level of explosion/yards after catch ability imo.
Adonai Mitchell struggled big time in this area throughout his career, but he’s silky smooth and the body control I can see I think it’s just hard for me to ignore the YAC when Ceedee was a Monster YAC prospect
I saw a tweet that lumped him in with the likes of Darrius Heyward-Bey, Ted Ginn Jr., Henry Ruggs, Anthony Gonzalez, and Craig "Buster" Davis as WR's drafted in the 1st round to never have a 15+ PPG collegiate season. Unlikely that he goes in the first round in the first place, but just thought that was interesting.Analytics Twitter does not like.
Is he going to catch passes?
11 TDs / 1 drop in 2023

He’s an odd one. Shows up on a ton of bad lists for analytic production. Looks the part though, seems to be a gamer, and was very impressive today.

Next Gen Stats
Adonai Mitchell (@TexasFootball) recorded the fastest forty yard dash (4.34 seconds) and longest broad jump (11'4") of any receiver in group 8.
During the forty he reached the top speed overall (23.84 mph) and within the first five yards (14.57 mph).
Adonai Mitchell cements himself as a first-round pick: The former Texas wideout established himself as a first-rounder with an outstanding day. He ran the fastest 40-time of the early session for wide receivers (4.35) and scored highly on his Relative Athletic Score. Mitchell's 9.98 out of 10 is the eighth-highest score out of 3,063 wideouts from 1987-2024.
lol some of those guys I actually liked!!Not sure how I feel about this.
Pretty sure that other than Metcalf you’re not supposed to like it, Tex.
Kent Lee Platte
Adonai Mitchell is a WR prospect in the 2024 draft class. He scored an unofficial 9.98 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 8 out of 3063 WR from 1987 to 2024.
Splits projected
ras.football/ras-informatio…
Have 1.3 and 1.9. Would love to grab Odunze (assuming MHJ and Nabors go 1-2) and Mitchell. Hoping a couple of the QBs go early and I can get himAnother guy I think people are sleeping on. When I watched him play, I see another Chris Olave, Jaylen Waddle. This guy is actually both taller and faster than both those guys. I am not a big college football guy, but from the film (highlights) I watched from this guy, he looks exactly like one of the Top WR prospects from any other year.
I think this WR class is just so stacked that people are overlooking this guy. No clue about his college production, but the tape is electric. I don't pick earlier enough to get get Malik Nabers or any of the other stud WR, but if those guys are A prospects, this guy is a B+. If he's available in the 2nd Round of the NFL Draft, somebody is getting a steal.
Adonai Mitchell is not faster than Jaylen Waddle
He isn't faster than Waddle.
So, Steve Smith said he was a body catcher. Has anyone done a lot of YouTube videos to see if that were true?He isn't faster than Waddle.
That's fine. I even believe you. Appreciate your input.
Marcus Mosher
One of my biggest questions for #Texas WR AD Mitchell is why was he unproductive in so many games?
He was held under 47 yards in 13 of his last 20 games (65%)
He had just three games in his career (32 total) with 80 or more yards.
Josh Norris
Not sure if Adonai Mitchell's production has been in question
but **earning** 52 targets as a true freshman on a National Championship team with Brock Bowers, Ladd McConkey, James Cook, Jermaine Burton and Darnell Washington is pretty cool
Second most on the team
Here's 66 seconds of exceptional ball tracking by Adonai Mitchell
this level of body control is so captivating
Doug Farrar
Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas
PLUSES
-- Great vertical speed, but it's Mitchell's speed cuts that will put defenders in blenders; he can cut and re-set at full speed without losing ground, which is a rare attribute. That speed also allows him to cross a cornerback's face before the cornerback knows what to do about it.
-- Sinks into his breaks on digs and slants like a five-year NFL veteran; he's really well-formed and practiced as a route-runner overall.
-- Can be a YAC addition to a receiver room with open space in front of him; Mitchell is especially tough to deal with on hitches and comebacks.
-- Has an extra gear in the open field, and will accentuate it with subtle movements as deep defenders converge.
MINUSES
-- Mitchell's contested catches are made more through speed and separation than force; you can take him out with physicality to a degree.
-- Let's just say that he's not the first guy you'll have in mind when it comes to blocking for other receivers on screens and run plays.
-- Not especially physical in traffic. He doesn't dry up and blow away with defenders converging, but it's not an attribute.
-- Had just 11 explosive receptions last season, but I could see that total double in the right NFL offense; there were only so many deep balls to go around with Texas' roadrunners.
Mitchell is one of My Guys this year. I love his ability to get free with moves that a lot of NFL receivers haven't mastered yet. As long as you scheme him into space to a point and let him cook, he can be a devastating explosive weapon. Not a small guy at 6' 2¼" and 205, and if he can develop a bit more dawg in him, he absolutely has WR1 potential at the next level.
The 33rd Team
Reminder - Adonai Mitchell
- Has a better 40 time (4.34) than Garrett Wilson (4.38)
- Has a better vertical (39.5") than Julio Jones and OBJ (38.5”)
- Has a better broad jump (11'4") than DK Metcalf (11’2”)
- Is taller (6'2 1/4") than Justin Jefferson (6'1 1/4")
Adonai Mitchell has ELITE athleticism![]()
He has the top relative athletic score for any player in this year's draft
Mitchell's score also puts him in the top 0.01% athletically for any WR drafted since 1987
