Toward the end of practice, with the sun blazing down on the Florida Atlantic football players and coaches, redshirt junior wide receiver Bobby Mitchell lined up on the right side of the field, with sophomore cornerback Chris Tooley closely watching him.

As redshirt sophomore quarterback De’Andre Johnson got the snap and dropped back, Mitchell used his quickness to juke Tooley, then sprinted down the sideline like a rocket.
