A day-three offensive tackle prospect from the Sun Belt Conference, Max Mitchell certainly isn’t considered to be among the flashiest prospects that the New York Jets added in the 2022 NFL draft. Few Jets fans had ever heard of the Louisiana product before the moment that Nick Mangold announced the team was taking him with its early fourth-round selection (111th overall).
But here’s the funny truth: from purely a statistical perspective, Mitchell actually is one of the flashiest prospects that the Jets selected this year. He owns some very gaudy numbers that you would not expect to see from a fourth-round pick.
