The 49ers used their final pick of the 2021 NFL Draft on running back Elijah Mitchell, and he could easily wind up being the latest Niners hidden gem.
The first-year future for San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell is pretty wide heading into 2021 training camp.
While it’s entirely possible the former Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajun could end up off the roster altogether, there’s still a strong possibility he winds up being a key rotational player this season and serving as a workable dual-threat offensive weapon for head coach Kyle Shanahan right away.
