Elijah Mitchell

Big Sauce sitting out the bowl game didn’t age well, at the very least it didn’t help his stock enough to get drafted.

Big Sauce sitting out the bowl game didn’t age well, at the very least it didn’t help his stock enough to get drafted.

Unless you’re injured, I really don’t see how a G5 player sitting out a bowl game does much else than hurt the stock. It’s another shot to play on national TV, possibly the main ESPN, rather than some U, +, or that CBS Live channel no one watches.

Thanks for the correction. By “wasting away”, I was referring to being stuck on such an organization, not his play.

No doubt but he decided to re-sign with Detroit in the off-season. They made him the best offer as I’m sure other franchises were courting him.

Can a late round find from the San Francisco 49ers emerge into the Pro Bowl stratosphere this season?

Now is the time for San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell to lock himself into the starting back role in the Bay Area.

In the five years that Kyle Shanahan has been the head coach of the 49ers, no player has been San Francisco’s rushing leader in consecutive seasons.

This shows you how tough it is to make it in the nfl. If it weren't for those timely injuries of the players ahead of him, his season may have never happened.

Niners got McCaffrey from the Panthers tonight.

[CajunEXPRESS]

Yeah they did. Is Carolina cleaning house for the next coach

Mitchell hurt again. Knee.

Mitchell hurt again. Knee.

Man, he just can’t stay healthy. Afraid that will prevent a big contract (at least guaranteed money) for him. Which is a shame, bc he is great when he’s actually on the field.

His run at the end of the game pretty much sealed the deal for the 49ers. Glad for him.

[RaginDave]

Yep and if he would have stayed in bounds it would have 100% done so. It worked out but he should have gotten down before stepping out of bounds. Could have been disastrous.
