RAVENS WORK OUT FREDDIE MITCHELL

A league source tells PFT that the Baltimore Ravens have worked out free agent wide receiver Freddie Mitchell.
We first heard about the Mitchell workout when a reader tipped us off that Mitchell had mentioned it on his MySpace page.
Mitchell, the 2001 first-round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles, played four years in Philly but hasn’t suited up for a regular-season NFL game since the 2004 season. He caught 90 passes for 1,263 yards and five touchdowns in four seasons, and his best moment came when he caught a 28-yard pass on fourth-and-26 in the NFC Divisional Playoff in January of 2004.
A year later, when Mitchell talked trash before the Super Bowl, Patriots coach Bill Belichick famously said, “He’s terrible, and you can print that.”
Mitchell signed with the Chiefs in 2005 but was cut before the season and has since then had workouts with a handful of teams, none of which offered him contracts.
