Former Georgia Bulldog and New England Patriots’ WR Malcolm Mitchell has been named to the University of Georgia’s 40 under 40 list. Mitchell retired from football following ten knee surgeries. In his rookie season he won a Super Bowl with the Patriots. Mitchell was a big-factor in the Patriots’ victory, but his impact goes well beyond the field.
Mitchell struggled reading coming into UGA, but went on to use books to help fill the gap and ultimately graduate from Georgia. Mitchell was not done there. He founded Read With Malcolm, a nonprofit that vies to improve literacy skills among the youth.
