Actually, Edwards is the only first rounder (1998) on your list. Hill was a second (2004) and Mitchell was a fourth (2014). Still, your point stands that there has been some bad luck with higher round picks. Luckily for us, the years were spaced out.
Looks like he may have torn the right ACL a couple of times, along with some strains and cleanup procedures. This link provides 5 right knee injuries, although we don’t know how many led to actual surgery. Throw in a couple of infections throughout the process for good measure, I guess (?)
I would also wonder if Mitchell is counting the times where he’s had cortisone injections and/or steroid injections, as some people (insurance companies, hospitals, and doctors) will refer to these as “surgeries,” even though they are almost always same day outpatient procedures.
