Posted Aug 19, 2005
Derrele Mitchell's senior season is under way after practice began last week, and he knows what he wants to do in his last games in Kenan Stadium. "I want to make big plays; I want to be a playmaker," Mitchell said. "That's what I'm striving to do. I'm not satisfied with the four years that I've been here. I'm definitely going to try and make this year my big year. I want to make this my big playmaking year."
