Much has been written about the stark improvement from this season to last of free safety Mike Mitchell, who was the Pittsburgh Steelers’ biggest free agent signing in several years during the 2014 offseason.
While he started every game that first year with the team, he had his struggles, to be sure, and it even spilled over to social media, where he let hecklers get the better of him, after which he shut down his profile.
Obviously, he was playing through multiple tears in his groin all season, a topic that has also been discussed at length, so it should not be surprising that he has played better while being healthier, though he has gotten nicked up in virtually every game this year.
