There is no way in hell Mitchell has 4 drops. I don't think he has any. The targets are passes in the vicinity of the receiver.
You're right. He doesn't have any drops.
 
He really could have caught a slightly high pass early vs Az - but I bet it officially was not a drop.
 
I remember 3, but I will save you the trouble of telling me I have scrambled eggs for brains and just say, I could be wrong.

I've seen some people claim he did on his first target in week 1. I don't agree though, the pass was too high. It wasn't totally uncatchable, but it would've been a great play if he'd caught it, rather than a drop because he didn't.
 
He's looked good!

Mitchell has 9 targets so far:



FWIW, none of them look like drops to me. The first is the closest (last in this album, no idea why they uploaded out of order), but I don't think that's the kind of ball you'd expect anyone to catch. More a great play if he does haul it down.
 
I like what I've seen from Mitchell so far: he contests for balls and makes tough yards after the catch. Plus he seems like a tough kid as evidenced by the way he's responded to his elbow injury and seems to be a caring, thoughtful guy off the field with his reading program.

You don't need to do that. The problem is people have different definitions of what's a drop.

Thanks for sharing that! I haven't watched the Texans game yet, but the drop I thought was a drop is more a bad throw so I can't blame him on that. Although I would like to get a better view of it.

So there's only really 1 drop. That's the last GIF, if you watch it from the end zone view it's thrown a little behind Mitchell but he still gets two hands on it and doesn't catch it.

Agreed, just like I thought no drops from Mitchell so far this year.
 
Sorry for the crappy shots. I don't have any video editing skills. It's the best I could do. Right before the ball hits his hands, and right after.

Yeah that one against the Cards would have been tough but I still think it's something you need to catch.

If it's tough, then by definition it's not a drop. Just a close incompletion.

EXCELLENT job there sir, uploading the gifs

a tough catch doesn't mean it's not a drop...if the ball touches both your hands, its a drop...theres no other definitions with it

looking at those shots theres two drops, the one up high in the cards game 1st Q 2 min left
and the other drop is the fins game 2nd Q 8 min left (hits two hands, changes trajectory)

the others missed seem to be bad throws, but the gifs are seem at be more sped up on those i cant even tell where the ball ended up

tally: 4 catches, 3 bad throws, 2 drops
