Elijah Mitchell is officially a Kansas City Chief — and he’s wasting no time showing his excitement about teaming up with superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Shortly after the move was confirmed, the former 49ers running back took to social media with a short but powerful message:
“Let’s work 💪”

The reaction immediately fired up Chiefs Kingdom, with fans flooding the comments in support and anticipation. Many praised Mitchell’s mindset, calling it “exactly the energy we need” as the team looks to defend its championship reign.

Mitchell brings a dynamic skillset to Kansas City — a blend of speed, toughness, and experience from his time in San Francisco. Though injuries have slowed him at times, when healthy, he’s a game-changer — capable of big runs, smart cuts, and dependable carries in high-pressure moments.

Now, with Mahomes under center and Andy Reid calling plays, Mitchell finds himself in the perfect situation to thrive.

Teaming up with one of the NFL’s most dangerous offenses, Mitchell has a chance to revitalize his career and add yet another weapon to Kansas City’s loaded roster. Fans are already imagining the explosive possibilities: Mitchell stretching the field on sweeps, catching passes in the flat, and taking pressure off Mahomes in key downs.

One thing’s for sure: the Chiefs didn’t just add talent — they added a hungry, motivated playmaker ready to make an impact.
