There is no questioning the talent and skill set that reside within Adonai Mitchell; it's just that the Indianapolis Colts didn't have a place for him on their roster going forward. Sure, there may have been other factors that made Mitchell a poor fit, but his talent was never in question.
Mitchell, who was traded in the trade deadline deal this past season that saw former New York Jets standout cornerback Sauce Gardner come in return, was more a casualty of necessity, however, than an on-field mistake.
The necessity, of course, was the Colts' need for help on defense, and Mitchell was the sacrificial lamb.
