Day 6 of 90-in-90 means we're looking at one of the newest members of the Chargers roster, WR Mitchell Paige. Player Factfile:
Name: Mitchell Paige
Age: 23
Position: WR
College: Indiana
NFL games played: 0
Games played for the Chargers: 0
Fun fact: Mitchell Paige wasn't given a contract by the Chargers originally, but earned one after impressing as a trialist in minicamp.
Mitchell Paige wasn't supposed to make it this far.
Paige had led the entire state of Indiana in punt and kick return yardage while in High School, as well as being a star receiver (and sometimes Quarterback). He was also the starting Point Guard on the school's State Championship basketball team and lettered in basketball, track and field and golf. But he hadn't been given a scholarship from any D1 schools. His athletic ability didn't make up for a lack of size. Wanting to compete at as high a level as possible, however, Paige decided to study for a telecommunications degree and attempt to walk onto the Indiana football team.
