The Colts Rookie Minicamp began today with the first of two workouts at their campus off West 56th Street.
Most of the time, athletes choose numbers because they are their favorite, represent something important to them, or serve as a motivational tool to remind them of something each time they put on the jersey.
Adonai Mitchell chose the number 10 since there were ten wide receivers taken before him in the draft.
- Marvin Harrison Jr. – 4th overall to Arizona Cardinals
- Malik Nabers – 6th overall to New York Giants
- Rome Odunze – 9th overall to Chicago Bears
- Brian Thomas Jr. – 23rd overall to Jacksonville Jaguars
- Xavier Worthy – 28th overall to Kansas City Chiefs
- Ricky Pearsall – 31st overall to San Francisco 49ers
- Xavier Legette – 32nd overall to Carolina Panthers
- Keon Coleman – 33rd overall to Buffalo Bills
- Ladd McConkey – 34th overall to Los Angeles Chargers
- Ja’Lynn Polk – 37th overall to New England Patriots
On Friday afternoon’s edition of Query & Company, Mitchell was asked by Jimmy Cook if that rumor was true.
During the draft, there were reports that Mitchell’s character was not a top priority for NFL teams. Those comments sparked an all-time outburst from Colts General Manager Chris Ballard, which, honestly, needed to be spoken.
#Colts GM Chris Ballard just went OFF on anonymous sources tearing Texas WR Adonai Mitchell for character concerns.
“Put your name on it. We tear these young men down…. It’s crap. This is a good kid.”
