Quinyon Mitchell is one of several notable opt-outs at the Senior Bowl.
The two-time All-American Toledo cornerback was one of the stars in Mobile, Ala., this week, as he not only solidified his status as a first-round draft pick, but may have moved up in the pecking order.
It’s not abnormal for players to take part in practices and drills throughout the week and then sit out the game.
Mitchell participated in practice sessions Tuesday and Wednesday, before sitting out Thursday. On Friday, he was voted the top cornerback on the National Team by wide receiver teammates.
