Colts GM defends rookie Mitchell in profane rant

Key Facts

REACTIONS INDIANAPOLIS -- Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard fiercely defended second-round pick Adonai Mitchell against criticisms of his character after selecting the wide receiver Friday night, calling the condemnations of the former Texas star "bulls---" during a lengthy rant.
Mitchell, selected 52nd overall, had hoped to be selected in the first round but slid into the second round amid reports that he interviewed poorly and was a difficult player to assess.
Mitchell also was defiant earlier Friday when speaking to Indianapolis reporters, opening his virtual interview by saying that the "only thing I'm feeling is I'm just kind of pissed.
That's just the reality of it and my job now is to make them pay and bring the best version of me every day to the Indianapolis Colts."
