Brian Mitchell is going to retire as a Redskin next week. He is going to sign a one day deal with the Redskins to retire where he started his career. Brian was last in a Giants uniform and played for the Eagles, he was not really an impact player with the Giants or Eagles. He is one of the greatest return men in history and as a third down running back. His biggest strength as a running back was catching the ball out of the backfield. He set nine total records that include combined kick return yards (19,013), combined kick returns (1,070), combined kick returns for a touchdown (13), kickoff return yards (14,014), kickoff returns (607), punt return yards (4,999), punt returns (463) and fair catches (231). He was the best thing to happen to the Redskins in the 90's. Brian was the bright spot for the Redskins during this time, and it is great that he will retire as one.
