He was well known as a kick returner, and is the NFL's second all time leader in total yardage (23,316), thanks in large part to his 14,014 yards from kickoff returns and his 4,999 punt return yards. Both are NFL records. He also rushed for 1,967 yards, caught 255 passes for 2,336 yards, recovered 20 fumbles for 14 return yards, and scored 29 touchdowns (4 kickoff returns, 9 punt returns, 12 rushing, 4 receiving). His 13 special teams touchdowns are also an NFL record.
Mitchell may be best known for his unearthly instincts in evading open field tacklers. His body control and change-of-direction skills were top notch, and helped to make up for his lack of breakaway speed. Some observers may still remember his legendary half-spin move fake, in which he started a spin move but then returned to his former course, shaking a certain defender out of his shoes in the process.
