Elijah Mitchell

[Cajunchuck]

Well, 11 games played, 207 carries, 963 yards, 5 TDs, ZERO fumbles. Nice season, on to playoffs.

I'm guessing that is the most rushing yards by a former Cajun player in a season in the NFL. Happy for him but wish he didn't play for the 49ers.

Yeah and not even close. Elijah McGuire had 315 in 2017. Brian Mitchell's best was his 311 yard season in 1994.

Life long Rams fan (except for most 1995-2015years).
HATE the F 9ers!!

But DO like to see Mitchel run well

[CajunEXPRESS]

I do want him to do well. It’s a position that both things can be true. He can do great and the team still lose. Granted the two don’t often differ.

[RaginScotsman]

That was so cool. Toss play and Eli runs to the corner for a TD.

Reminded me of the Georgia State OT win. Just without the toss.

[BeauCajun]

Nice start for the Bobcat.

[ZoomZoom]

1,059 yards rushing in 12 games.

1,059 yards rushing in 12 games.

That’s legit!

[CajunVic]

Elijah Mitchell made all Cajuns and anyone from Erat proud today.
