Pete Mitchell, a nine-year NFL veteran who previously played with Jacksonville, the New York Giants and the Detroit Lions, signed a free-agent contract with the Colts Wednesday. He practiced with team in the afternoon.
"I think I bring a lot of things -- obviously a lot of experience," Mitchell said upon arrival.
Mitchell, in nine seasons, started 63 of 114 games, catching 279 passes for 2,885 yards and 15 touchdowns. He played four seasons with Jacksonville, two with the Giants, one with Detroit, then returned to Jacksonville, where he played last season.
"If anything, I maybe bring some wisdom to some of the young guys," Mitchell said. "As a player, I catch the ball and I can block. Im known as more of a receiver, but I can get the job done blocking, too.
"I dont look great sometimes, but I get it done."
Mitchell said he looked forward to playing in the Colts offense, which is ranked third in the NFL in total yardage. Peyton Manning leads the NFL with 4,047 yards passing.

"And having the big three (Manning, Marvin Harrison and James) -- sort of like we had in Jacksonville (Mark Brunell, Jimmy Smith and Fred Taylor). Itll be fun to watch them play and hopefully have a chance to play with them."

"If (long snapper) Justin Snow got hurt or if one of our tight ends got hurt, wed be scrambling."
