Georgia junior receiver Malcolm Mitchell likes focusing on just one position this spring.Malcolm Mitchell has no problem being out of the limelight this spring.
Mitchell was the most scrutinized player in Georgia’s football program this time last year, when he was frequently interviewed about making the adjustment from receiver to cornerback. The 6-foot-1, 192-pound junior now is working solely at receiver again, with talk of becoming a two-way talent tabled for the foreseeable future.
“I think this is really good for me, because it lets me actually focus to get better at something,” Mitchell said. “I loved the opportunity that I had last year, but this year I get a chance to master the craft.”
Which is a scary thought.
Mitchell already has provided plenty of memorable moments for the Bulldogs, most notably the 45-yard touchdown reception in last season’s 17-9 surprise triumph over previously undefeated Florida in Jacksonville. He broke into the Southeastern Conference two years ago with 45 receptions for 665 yards and four touchdowns but missed three games with a hamstring pull.
