Trump congratulates Patriots, former UGA receiver Malcolm Mitchell at White House
As the New England Patriots were welcomed at the White House on Wednesday afternoon, President Donald Trump congratulated the team and a few players individually on the Super Bowl LI victory— including former University of Georgia wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell.
Mitchell ended his rookie year with the Patriots by winning a Super Bowl ring.
"(Mitchell) as a rookie, handled the pressure of the Super Bowl like an (absolute) veteran," Trump said. "Way to go, Malcolm."
Mitchell had six receptions for 70 yards in the Patriots’ 34-28 overtime win over Atlanta Falcons. Mitchell played at Georgia from 2011-2015.
