Marvin Mitchell - 6030, 249, 4.66, Tennessee

Marvin Mitchell has overcome some injuries in his collegiate career, but when healthy, he is a big, physical tackling machine. He put up more than 100 tackles his senior season despite playing with a number of nagging injuries throughout the year. Tough, gritty player who is a great run plugger. He shows good instincts that put him in the right place to make plays. He's able to shoot the gap and get into the backfield to drag down ball-carriers for loss.
Durability is a huge concern for Mitchell. He'll play hurt, but he's almost always got something nagging him. Lack of athleticism and speed is overcome some by a playmaking knack, but the limited athleticism will be exposed more in the NFL than at UT.
Mitchell has the size and production teams desire in the middle of the linebacking corps. His fragility hurts his stock and sends him late into day two of the 2007 NFL Draft.

ok this could be a steal but....can he stay healthy.
