While the New York Jets brought in two young wide receivers in Adonai Mitchell and John Metchie III as a result of their trade deadline dealing, the former Indianapolis Colts draft pick in Mitchell was regarded as the superior player. Thursday Night Football against the New England Patriots, however, revealed a whole different story.
Despite the fact that the Jets tried to get Mitchell the ball often in this game, his seven targets resulted in two drops, one ball that was underthrown and he got his hands on, and dozens of yards left on the field.
