Known for his speed, having Mitchell behind\u00a0Patrick Mahomes\u00a0will give defenses something to think about.<\/p>\n<p data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\" data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\">For Elijah, he missed the entire 2024 season due to a hamstring injury, but he\u2019s back fully healthy as training camp rolls on, and he\u2019s detailed an element of the run game that has him raring to go.<\/p>\n<p data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\" data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\">\u201cRunning the ball, catching the ball out the back-field is huge,\u201d\u00a0Mitchell said. \u201cI did the same thing in San Francisco. So, man, I\u2019m excited. I\u2019m excited for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\" data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\">Exactly what the run game will look like is unknown, but with a healthy Pacheco, Hunt, who now will have a full offseason to get in football shape, plus a rejuvenated Mitchell, there are multiple avenues the Chiefs can attack defenses with now.<\/p>\n<p data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\" data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\">Pacheco and Hunt can be the bruising runners, while Mitchell is the twinkle-toed back who can slip through a crack and then hit his head on the goal post.<\/p>\n<p data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\" data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\">The Chiefs have their doubters in 2025, but the run game might just be key in making them believers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":29031,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29030","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kansas-city-chiefs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
