Basil Mitchell is a former National Football League running back. He played for two seasons with the Green Bay Packers. Mitchell was born on September 7, 1975 in Pittsburg, Texas. The 5'-10", 200 pound running back was acquired by the Packers as a free agent on June 26, 1999. He played in 1999 and 2000. He played in 16 games in 1999. He had 29 rush attempts for 117 yards. That makes for an average of 4 yards per rush attempt. He also had six receptions for 48 yards. Next season, Mitchell only played one game and had two rush attempts for eight yards.

In 2001, Mitchell was drafted for the single season XFL by the Memphis Maniax, but never played in the league due to the team using former Heisman Trophy winner Rashaan Salaam as the running back instead.
