Georgia WR Malcolm Mitchell open to playing defense

ATHENS, Ga. – While outside linebacker during Georgia’s pro day event Tuesday, there were other Bulldogs who drew the attention of scouts. Wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell was one.

Well, make that wide receiver/cornerback Malcom Mitchell.

At last month’s NFL Scouting Combine, Mitchell said a team wanted to see him also work out as a defensive back, and he obliged. Tuesday, he told reporters that five teams have talked to him about possibly switching to defense in the NFL. He says he definitely is open to the move; he played some cornerback during his sophomore season at Georgia.
