Chiefs

Kansas City signed former 49ers RB Elijah Mitchell to a contract for depth at the running back position. Mitchell reflected on a rough year in San Francisco, where he didnโ€™t play a game due to a hamstring injury. 

โ€œIt was very challenging,โ€ Mitchell said, via Ed Easton Jr. of The Chiefs Wire. โ€œJust having the love for football and not being able to step on the field and compete against the best, it really weighed on me a lot. Iโ€™m hungrier than ever, and Iโ€™m ready to roll.โ€

Raiders

The Raiders are currently the Vegas favorites to draft RB Ashton Jeanty and were present at the Boise State running backโ€™s Pro Day, which prompted Jeanty to comment about the team.

โ€œGreat organization,โ€ Jeanty said, via Jay Trust of KTVB. โ€œTheyโ€™ve got a few pieces, and I know they could use a running back. So theyโ€™ve got that nice pick, number six, so weโ€™ll see what happens. Itโ€™s been great meeting with them, meeting with their running backs coach. So, itโ€™s cool that he came all this way to meet with me.โ€
