Agreed. I love the guy on 1st and 10.

Because there's a credible threat of the run (which will mitigate his shortcomings as a pass blocker) but the Chiefs will still prefer to pass (which can get him out in space).

Run the ball even 1/4 of the time that he's in there on 1st down strictly as a tendency breaker and if he gets the corner even 10% of the time, you're cooking with gas.

I see Mitchell as a 3rd down back (for now) where Brashard Smith can actually be a really nice fit on early downs in 'open' down/distance situations.
