LSU’s explosive two-sport burner with big-play juice
Jared Mitchell was a dynamic LSU wideout in the 2006-2008 seasons, producing 19 receptions for 274 yards and 0 receiving touchdowns in 2008 while also adding punt-return value, including a 20-yard return that year. His calling card was athletic upside: elite straight-line speed, open-field burst, and rare two-sport competitiveness that made him a true field-flipping threat. The knock was durability and consistency, as a leg injury in the 2008 season slowed his football momentum before he became a first-round MLB Draft pick. If you want explosive upside and special-teams value, he’s a fun fit.
