"Dillon Mitchell, 28, of Memphis, faces felony charges in multiple counties after the high-speed chase that was first reported last week. Mitchell is a wide receiver in the CFL and was a seventh-round pick in the NFL Draft by the Vikings in 2019.
Mitchell was taken to the Craighead County Detention Center and faces charges of felony fleeing, DWI first, refusal to submit to a chemical test, reckless driving, speeding more than 15 miles per hour, driving without a license, careless and prohibited driving, and disregarding a red light. A crash report notes damage to the Exit 47 sign.
Judge Tommy Fowler set his bail at $5,000 cash-only, calling him a danger to the public. He has since bonded out of jail."
Nice
Well, that answers that!
Nail in the coffin, I suspect.
Bye Bye Dillon.
He needs some professional help and I hope he / his family finds that for him.
What a loser. Good riddance.
@VictorRomano did you stumble across the information yourself?
Just wondering as maybe 3DownNation was made aware of the arrest from your post.
Well, guess that problem is solved. Mitchell had trouble with alcohol in college, I guess he still does.

When I opened my Chrome browser, it was literally the first suggested news report. I didn't even read the headline - I just saw the picture, went "holy ####", and started reading the articles and looking at the source to see if it was legit....
Looks like I scooped John Hodge by at least a few hours. Why am I not getting paid ? LOL...
oh no who will play receiver for us.
...in all seriousness, wish this guy well and would hate to see his whole life go off the rails. Sad

Totally agree. It's very easy to pile on when someone's life goes off the rails.
Lesson learned, when passing near a place like Jonesboro Arkansas always mind yer speed, trouble is afoot.
Could this be a reason Lawler was so PO'd at us for signing Mitchell before him?

Does Lawler own a time machine?

No, the past history of his issues obviously, as mentioned here:

Lawler should probably hold his tongue before he criticizes Mitchell.

Is there definitive proof Mitchell had substance use issues in college? No actual source was provided.

Im thinking more people might have received the article in their newsfeed if it said Winnipeg Blue Bombers receiver instead of CFL receiver.

He revealed it in an interview with Ed Tait shortly after he signed with the Bombers last spring. Also a few reports of misbehaviour in college with the Oregon Ducks. These are issues Walters should have been aware of before signing him.

It's strange that you'd make an assumption like that.
Could you share a link to that interview?

Move on from
Makes sense, and explains why he showed up to TC so out of shape. Hope he gets the help he needs
Yeah, it's an issue for many players in all sports. The team may have known the issues and hoped to give him a chance to step away from his demons. It didn't work out for either side.
Now it's time for him to deal with these issues.

Totally agree. I think MOS knew all about his problems and rather than cut him loose, he gave him a shot and tried to help him get on the right path. That's totally MOS.
