Mitchell since has played receiver and cornerback for the Bulldogs and has battled numerous injuries, but he wasn’t talking much football Thursday at Southeastern Conference Media Days. Instead, the beaming 6-foot-1, 195-pounder from Valdosta was walking around the Wynfrey Hotel with his debut children’s book titled “A Magician’s Hat.”
