Khalif Mitchell
Khalif Quadree Mitchell (born April 7, 1985) is an American former professional football defensive tackle. Mitchell played college football for two seasons at the University of North Carolina and later at East Carolina University. He was signed by the San Francisco 49ers as an undrafted free agent in 2009 and released in 2010. In 2011, he won a Grey Cup with the BC Lions. In his professional career, Mitchell was a member of the Lions, Toronto Argonauts, Montreal Alouettes and the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the CFL, San Francisco 49ers in the NFL and the Sioux Falls Storm in the IFL.
A Virginia state native, Mitchell played 1 season of football in 2004 while attending Hargrave Military Academy before transferring to Chapel Hill High School.
Mitchell played his first two seasons of college football as a defensive tackle with the Tarheels team for the University of North Carolina. As an occasional starter, Mitchell recorded 28 tackles, 15 of these were made during the 2005 season.
After his sophomore season at North Carolina, Mitchell transferred to East Carolina University before the start of the 2006 season in which he did not play. His junior season in 2007 included 11 games played that led Mitchell to earning All-Conference USA honors and helping the ECU Pirates football team to victory in the Sheraton Hawai'i Bowl. Upon sustaining injuries to his back and foot, Mitchell saw limited gameplay during the 2008 season.
Approaching the 2009 NFL draft, experts conversely described Mitchell as possessing "a terrific combination of size, speed and strength" but "does not use any of his tools particularly well." Mitchell was also predicted as a 7th round draft pick. By his senior year in 2009 however, it was reported on May 1 that Mitchell signed an undrafted free agent contract with the San Francisco 49ers.
After going undrafted in the 2009 NFL draft, Mitchell was signed by the San Francisco 49ers as an undrafted free agent on May 1, 2009. He was waived on September 5, and subsequently signed to the practice squad on September 6. He was released from the practice squad on September 8 and later re-signed to the practice squad on October 13. He was released in early September 2010.
Mitchell was signed by the BC Lions of the Canadian Football League on September 21, 2010. He was added to the team's 46-man playing roster as a nose tackle, and activated to the team's 42-man game day roster against the Calgary Stampeders for September 25. With limited playing time in the 2010 CFL season Mitchell only recorded 6 tackles. In Mitchell's second year in the league he earned 2011 CFL All-Star honors with 33 tackles and 6 sacks. In 2011, he won the 99th Grey Cup while playing for the Lions. He re-signed with the BC Lions on January 16, 2012.[citation needed]
Mitchell was suspended by the CFL on July 23, 2012, for two games without pay after he violently hyperextended the arm of Edmonton Eskimos offensive lineman Simeon Rottier. After another game, the league also fined him an unspecified amount for making a number of throat-slashing gestures.
