Malcolm Mitchell: Officially announces retirement

Mitchell officially announced his retirement at a University of Georgia event on Friday, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.

Mitchell wasn't able to play in an NFL game since his heroics during Super Bowl LI, as knee injuries effectively ended his career. The 2016 fourth-round pick will be fondly remembered by Patriots fans after tallying six catches for 70 yards in the aforementioned come-from-behind Super Bowl win, capping off a rookie season in which he caught 32 passes for 401 yards and four touchdowns.
