After being a key component in the New England Patriots' epic come-from-behind victory over the Atlanta Falcons, Malcolm Mitchell is retiring from the NFL.
The wideout during an event Friday at the University of Georgia. He later posted a message on Instagram.
"Everything will work out," he said. "The world has a knack for correcting itself."
The Patriots attempted to shop Mitchell in a trade last season but eventually released him during the preseason. He struggled with a lingering knee injury. He missed all of the 2017 season.
The former fourth-round pick flashed as a rookie in 2016, compiling four touchdowns on 32 receptions with 401 receiving yards. He had a huge game during LI, earning six receptions for 70 yards. Despite a preseason game against the Houston Texans, that would be his last game.
