He was a Pro Bowler in four consecutive seasons from 1983-86 and a two-time First Team All-Pro in 1983 and 1984.

His solo tackles (1,384) are second behind Ray Lewis, who was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2018. His total tackles (2,039) are also second behind Lewis. He ended his career playing in 256 consecutive games and starting in 2015, which is still the NFL's all-time record for a linebacker.

• Mitchell, who played with Washington from 1990-99, has the second most all-purpose yards in NFL history behind only Jerry Rice and ahead of Walter Payton, both of which had Hall of Fame careers. Mitchell led the league in all-purpose yards in four of his final six seasons with Washington, including three consecutive seasons from 1994-96. He scored nine special teams touchdowns in his 10 seasons with Washington, seven of which came on punt returns.
