The Daily Oklahoman wrote on December 22, 1948 (NewsBank page 51): "Two University of Oklahoma stars, Buddy Burris, all-American guard, and quarterback Jack Mitchell were listed in last year's draft because of interrupted football eligibility during the war. The Green Bay Packers claimed both." The Daily Oklahoman wrote on December 20, 1946 (NewsBank page 28): "QUARTERBACKS—Jack Mitchell, Darrell Royal, Boyd Bibb, Kenneth Parker."
