Keith Mitchell's Legacy with Saints | New Orleans Saints News

Keith Mitchell, the Pro Bowl linebacker who anchored the New Orleans Saints’ defense from 1997 to 2001, is remembered for his explosive 2000 season — a year that included a franchise-record 90-yard fumble return touchdown, six-and-a-half sacks, and the team’s first playoff win. A key figure in Saints history, Mitchell also played for the Texans and Jaguars before retiring. Services are set for July 25 in Sunnyvale, Texas, with visitation the day prior in Dallas; donations in lieu of flowers support his legacy.
