Former Georgia wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell knows he had quite a year.

Mitchell was drafted by the New England Patriots in the fourth-round of the 2016 NFL Draft and spent his first season earning 401 receiving yards, four touchdowns and a Super Bowl ring.

Mitchell told ESPN on Monday that he still watches the film of his team winning the Super Bowl over the Atlanta Falcons. In fact, he's watched it "three or four times" Mitchell tells ESPN.

The most impressive part of the game for Mitchell is recognizing that the Patriots’ motivation never wavered as they rallied from a 19-point deficit in the fourth-quarter for a 34-28 overtime victory over Atlanta.

“Watching the SoundFX and how encouraged and motivated everybody was,” ESPN reported Mitchell said during one of his reading rallies. “I can say it, but I wasn't standing over there with the defense. I know the offensive side was motivated. Just to (watch it again) to see how motivated the entire team was, it kind of exemplifies how well we worked together that day.”

In his four seasons as a Bulldog, Mitchell racked up 2,350 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns.
