Free agent running back Elijah Mitchell is heading to Kansas City.
The Chiefs and Mitchell agreed to a one-year contract today.
A 2021 sixth-round pick of the 49ers, Mitchell has spent his entire NFL career in San Francisco. Mitchell will try to get back to form after missing the entire 2024 season with a hamstring injury.
Mitchell’s best NFL season was his rookie year, when he had 207 carries for 963 yards and five touchdowns in 2021, adding 169 rushing yards that postseason.
