EJ is a terrible tackler no matter what his stats say. Unless the ball carrier is standing still or runs directly into him, my guess is he'll miss the tackle.
College Injuries

He apparently had an ankle injury that bothered him much of the next season (2022, his last at Florida), but was able to play through it. A report speculated that his number of designed runs was limited at times as a result of this injury but in other games he ran more frequently. https://www.gatorcountry.com/feature/anthony-richardsons-health-was-the-key-to-the-2022-florida-offense/
The Jets fired Robert Saleh after a 2-3 start.
Yes, they weren't playing well. But they were only 2-3. Still within reach of the Bills.
Yahoo News suggested that Saleh wasn't getting along very well with Aaron Rodgers.
Is it possible that Rodgers got another coach fired?
I've noticed three times this season (in three different games) when Mitchell appeared to shy away from trying to make a catch to avoid a possible hit. In many years of watching the NFL, I don't remember noticing this happen with other receivers. It doesn't seem like a typical rookie thing. But am I just wrong about not seeing this with other NFL players? (My memory definitely isn't the greatest).
