What is Scott Mitchell doing now? Exploring current whereabouts of former Bengals QB

Scott Mitchell played 12 seasons as an NFL quarterback from 1990 to 2001. However, his life after football has drawn plenty of attention from fans.

Mitchell went from 240 pounds during his playing days to an astonishing 366 pounds after retirement but has had quite a physical transformation.

The quarterback admitted to gaining plenty of weight after his playing career due to the lack of activity. In order to reduce a few pounds, the former quarterback auditioned for the TV series "The Biggest Loser" but said that he was worried about getting on the show due to his mental state of mind.

In an interview back in 2014, Mitchell revealed that he had given up on life physically and emotionally.

"My dad passed away from diabetes in January. I had kind of thrown in the towel and thought, 'I’m going to be a fat person the rest of my life,' and when he died I said, 'That’s my future. That’s what’s going to happen to me.' "

Mitchell worked hard to shed weight but struggled to remain in shape after the show ended. In 2019, he announced that he was teaming up with veteran fitness trainer Melanie Douglas and it seems to have worked wonders for him.

Mitchell has lost a lot of weight and gotten back into the right frame of mind as well. He currently works as a commentator and calls college football games for the Utah Utes.
