The third-year corner is back with the team that drafted him after a year abroad. But though he might currently classified as a cornerback, the Cowboys are experimenting by moving Mitchell to a variety of spots this spring – most notably, nickel back and safety.

“He has a lot of physical traits that would make you think he could play safety,” said Cowboys coach Jason Garrett last spring. “You saw some of that when he was playing nickel last year at the end of the year.”

That was definitely on display in the final weeks of last season, when Mitchell saw his first action for the Cowboys. He played in the final three games of the season for a struggling team that was shorthanded at defensive back.



During that stretch, he not only tallied 12 tackles, a sack and a forced fumble, but he recorded the first interception by a Dallas cornerback in more than a calendar year.

“I just want to focus on just making the team, really,” he said. “Work hard and make the team, and let all the chips fall where they may after that.”
Sounds like his head is on straight.

I'm guessing that the most likely change to happen for Mitchell this season, if any, is to spell Church occasionally in coverage.

They are moving T. Will to defense? Probably a good idea considering he can't catch. Oh, wait, Terrance Mitchell. Who dat?
