Malcom Mitchell!

[thecore762]

What a kid! Rookie and he made some great catches this SB! He is truly going to be an long time Patriot!

 

[thecore762]

He is gonna be a special player next year. Also our front 7 with Flowers and Hightower were beats...,

 

[Art_Vandelay421]

My complete respect for MM came when he stood up to the Buffalo Bill nimrod who tried to mess with Jacoby Brissett earrly in the seaon...a rookie who took no crap...

 

[raduray]

He was key there at the end. And he's only a rookie.

 

[BTTA]

Yup, one of several who just f*kin balled at the end. Not one indication he was a rookie.

Guy gets better every week.

And he gets to work with this staff and Tom to get better.

Guy if fast enough to take a larger role on deep routes going forward too.

 

[meatface]

I know its probably because I loved Deion but he reminds me of Branch so much.

 

[Marko]

He was key in the turn around, so was Amendola.

 

[Crazy Patriot Guy]

Back in the preseason, after seeing his elbow injury, I was hopeful he would be ready for training camp next year. We're so lucky it wasn't as serious as it looked, he was huge for us this season.

 

[thecore762]

I hope we get to keep all of our receivers including Amendola, sure he missed a lot of time, but he always comes clutch for us in the SB.

 

[ashley]

He was so huge in the 4th qtr...what a game he had and I think he has a great future as well!!!!

 

[newenglandsports11]

Malcolm was irrelevant the first 3 quarters. 4th and OT that was IT4 like. Wow. Biggest game of his life and he delivers, so proud of him.

 

[bormio]

Mitchell and Amendola really played well. Amendola will have to restructure but I got to believe he will be back.

 

[VJCPatriot]

Malcolm Mitchell stepped his game up big time when we needed him! He's another late round pick success story. A 4th round pick playing with a chip on his shoulder. Played well on a huge stage and as rookie to boot!

Would love to see him take the leap next year as Butler did after his Super Bowl heroics vs Seattle.

Our wide receivers as a group may not be feared. But damn they are clutch, aren't they?

 

[ahmed]

He will be a big time WR next year.

 

[long distance]

Amazing focus and effort from a rookie when he slipped got up and still made a catch.
(dont find a clip unfortunatelly)



From Curran:

He'd just reeled in six catches for 70 yards in the biggest game of his life. One came late in the fourth quarter when he fell and got back to his feet before Tom Brady's pass got to him. On the next play, Edelman made the catch that has since been etched into every football fan's memory forever.

As Mitchell strolled patiently toward the team bus, though, he remembered a moment from two weeks ago back at Gillette Stadium. He'd dealt with some drops at practice that he admitted were probably due to him over-thinking his preparation for the Super Bowl. Brady sensed it and sought him out. Focus on a play at a time, Brady told him.

MM has done well all year. We see obviously he is a rookie. He has made mistakes and drops on and off all year. Not horrible but just enough to remind you "yes he is a rookie". However man am i excited for year 2. He cleans those things up and puts a full off season of work in? Look out.

MM, Hogan will make plays on the outside for years to come with this team. Edelman has a few more good years left too. Amendola needs to be kept around. This game showed it too. He just is too damn dependable in the big moments.

 

[PatsBoy12]

He jump started the offense when they had NOTHING going. We'll lose his performance over time because James White went off like a Boss. But Mitchell was the spark that eventually lit the flame.

Amendola never shows up, until you really needed him, by then he became like the most dependable player ever.

I feel an Emmanuel Sanders type breakout coming.
