Former New England Patriots wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell knows a thing or two about overcoming adversity. When he was playing college football at the University of Georgia, Mitchell admits he could only read at a junior-high level. It wasn’t something he cared about correcting, instead choosing to focus all his attention on football and making it into the NFL.
A fourth-round draft pick of the Patriots back in 2016, Mitchell had a solid rookie year that culminated in a terrific performance in Super Bowl LI, where he helped New England storm back from a 25-point deficit to beat the Atlanta Falcons in overtime.
