From the article

Mitchell has one game with double-digit carries and no games with more than two receptions through three years of NFL ball. Conversely, he had more carries where he hit 20 MPH than any other player in the league last year. Mitchell did that on 59 rush attempts. This is arguably the league's best home run hitter. The catch is that he barely gets any at-bats.

Mitchell is the league's best home run hitter but barely gets at-bats.

Mitchell is in tier 6 and is an odd case; he has one game with double-digit carries and no games with more than two receptions through three years of NFL ball, but he had more carries where he hit 20 MPH than any other player in the league last year—doing that on 59 rush attempts. This makes him arguably the league's best home run hitter, but the catch is that he barely gets any at-bats.
