Prior to Super Bowl XXXIX, Eagles receiver Freddie Mitchell pretended not to know the names or numbers of any Patriots defensive backs.
He was also quoted as saying he "had something" for Patriots safety Rodney Harrison.
In the game, the man who tried to trademark the name FredEx because he "always delivered" (he scored 5 TDs in 4 seasons), caught 1 pass for 11 yards. After the game, Bill Belichick did an interview with Sports Illustrated and gave us a rare view into his actual feelings on a player.
"All he does is talk. He's terrible, and you can print that. I was happy when he was in the game."
After retiring, Freddie Mitchell bought a BBQ restaurant in 2008 and managed to have it closed by 2009. He also spent time in prison for tax fraud from 2013-2016.
