However, the Boatmen were immediately rewarded, as Mitchell played both offensive and defensive line (and intercepted 2 passes) and won the Gruen Trophy as best rookie in the Eastern Conference. He also scored 60 points in 1962 as a backup kicker when Cookie Gilchrist was injured. After three season in Toronto, he was traded to the Edmonton Eskimos in a blockbuster 6 player deal that saw the famed Jackie Parker head east. In three seasons in Edmonton, besides being a lineman, he scored 123 points with his boot, including a 58-yard field goal (versus the Calgary Stampeders on August 17, 1964) which was the longest in CFL history at the time. Mitchell was traded to the British Columbia Lions in 1966 and scored his highest points in a season that year with 67. He retired three games into the 1968 season. His brother Doug Mitchell also played in the CFL with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the Montreal Alouettes. (en)
