On the eve of the 2019 team getting started with preseason training camp, one of the Arizona Wildcats’ longest-tenured NFL players has found a new one.
Earl Mitchell, a nine-year veteran defensive tackle who played for Arizona from 2006-09, has signed with the Seattle Seahawks.
The 6-foot-3, 310-pound Mitchell spent the previous two seasons with the San Francisco 49ers, starting 28 games. He played for the Miami Dolphins 2014-16 and spent his first four NFL seasons with the Houston Texans, who drafted him in the third round in 2010.
