When it comes to Mike Mitchell, the game of football really comes down to one thing for the Pittsburgh Steelers safety, and that is love—at least, that is, according to his defensive backs coach for the past three-plus years, former safety Carnell Lake.
The somewhat enigmatic coach, whose media availability is sparse at best, recently participated in a sit-down interview for the team’s website, in which he talked about a number of topics in a brief period of time, and one topic that was discussed is Mitchell, who is preparing to open his fourth season in Pittsburgh with a fourth different starter opposite him.
