Mitchell seems like a lock to make the roster, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

There may not be many snaps left for a No. 3 tight end behind Brock Wright and Sam LaPorta, but there could still be room for a couple of extra bodies since Detroit kept four tight ends on the roster last year. A 2022 fifth-round pick, Mitchell seems like the favorite for one of those spots. While he may not offer much as an in-line blocker, Mitchell is a talented receiver who could be a surprising contributor in 2023 if LaPorta ends up being slow to acclimate to the pro level.
