Derrell "Mookie" Mitchell (born September 16, 1971 in Miami, Florida) is a Canadian Football League wide receiver for the Edmonton Eskimos.

CFL Career

Mitchell signed with the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL in 1997 and immediately made a mark in the league with close to 1,500 yards and 17 TD's receiving in his first season in the league. In 1998 he took his game one step forward catching a CFL-record 160 receptions for 2,000 yards. After a failed tryout in the NFL, Mitchell returned to the Argos and consistently put up 1,000-yard or close to 1,000-yard seasons.

In 2004 he was released by the Argonauts, sadly as he was one of the most popular players, and he signed with the Edmonton Eskimos who he helped win the 2005 Grey Cup.
