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 didn’t play a game due to a hamstring injury. 

“It was very challenging,” Mitchell said, via Ed Easton Jr. of The Chiefs Wire. “Just 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. I’m hungrier than ever, and I’m ready to roll.”

Raiders

The Raiders are currently the Vegas favorites to draft RB Ashton Jeanty and were present at the Boise State running back’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€
