Elijah Mitchell

Mitchell was a gem find by the 49ers in the sixth round of the 2021 draft, but the injuries piled up to the point that San Francisco traded for Christian McCaffrey last season. Including the playoffs, the Louisiana product produced 1,326 yards and seven TDs on 288 touches in 14 games as a rookie before being limited to 73 touches in seven games in 2022. Mitchell played six full games with McCaffrey last season and was actually pretty busy as a rusher (62 carries to McCaffrey's 67). Of course, even if Mitchell stays healthy and splits carries with McCaffrey, his rushing ceiling will be limited and he'll be a nonfactor in the passing game. The 25-year-old is a good insurance option for your bench.
