From the episode

I don't see how Keaton Mitchell can be a running back one for an NFL team. He's just too light to me... it's going to be a committee where they're going to use the fullback in pass protection snaps.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Mitchell lacks the size to be a true lead back; committee role limits upside.

Matt Harmon does not believe Mitchell has the size to be a true lead back in the NFL; he's too light. The Chargers are using an early-down committee approach with fullback and Kamani Vidal handling pass protection snaps, while Mitchell gets limited opportunities on designed sweeps and goal-line plays. Mitchell's touchdown came on a sweep where Justin Herbert threw a pass, not a traditional run, and while he broke tackles and evaded contact, his lack of size limits his ceiling as a featured back.
