I think it’s safe to say by now that Pittsburgh Steelers free safety Mike Mitchell is a polarizing figure, and that is as true, if not more so, within the Steelers’ fan base as it is on the outside. There is a vocal population that believes he is significantly overrated. Some have suggested that he should be demoted. Others think that he is underrated.
One thing that I think can probably be agreed upon is that he has been playing some of his best football of the year by far over the course of the Steelers’ past three games, during which they have held opponents to a total of 31 points, and have halted four drives within the 10-yard line without giving up any points.
