Supposedly AD has been the star of Colts camp this year. The Athletic had a write up on him today.

Spoiler

All bark and plenty of bite

AD Mitchell didn’t care that the pass from Jones was slightly overthrown. After beating Ravens cornerback Nate Wiggins in a 1-on-1 drill to start Tuesday’s joint practice, Mitchell shouted in the direction of several media members who witnessed him make Wiggins look bad at the line of scrimmage.

“Burnt toast!” Mitchell said, referencing Wiggins, who was still within earshot.

A few reps later, Mitchell proved he doesn’t have a preference for which Ravens cornerback he burns. He doesn’t think any of them can defend him anyway, and Ravens cornerback Chidobe Awuzie soon became his next victim. After Mitchell quickly discarded Awuzie at the line of scrimmage and gained a step on him, he stepped on the gas and caught a perfectly placed deep ball from Richardson for an easy touchdown.

This time, as if he were keeping a promise, he looked at the same group of media members and shouted, “I told you!”

Mitchell was arguably the Colts’ best offensive player Tuesday, as his breakout training camp continues. He freed himself on a variety of short, intermediate and long routes, and the Ravens were completely unable to slow him down. Mitchell’s best play came on about a 40-yard reception down the right sideline. After beating Wiggins again, Richardson threw the ball to Mitchell’s back shoulder, and the receiver flipped his hips at the last second to make a fingertip grab while simultaneously dragging his toes inbound to complete the catch.

The Colts offense let out an approving roar as Mitchell proudly ran back to the huddle. Ravens fans in attendance simply gasped in awe. After practice, Mitchell downplayed his performance and the chirping between teams, only conceding through a sly smile that, “yes,” it felt like a real game. The second-year pro credited his teammates, namely left guard and seven-time Pro Bowler Quenton Nelson, for helping him get in the right mindset to compete.

“Q got up and said some things in front of the team that really stuck with us,” Mitchell said. “He was talking about bringing the energy and hyping up your teammates and stuff. So, kind of ever since then, that’s all we’ve been trying to do is just bring the juice up and make plays.”

Aside from the QBs, Steichen didn’t disclose which potential starters will play in Thursday’s preseason opener. If Mitchell has any say, he plans to suit up and keep building on his promising training camp.

“I always want to go out there and play with my dogs, fight for my dogs, man,” Mitchell said. “I know they would do the same if they were me.”

Did the colts get a new qb in the off-season? Might not matter how well Mitchell is playing otherwise.

Yeah, Richardson is ass. So they went out and picked up Daniel Jones, who is ass ²
