From the video
McDaniel's been saying about using Katon Mitchell and Kamani Vidal as like a three-headed back type thing and there's going to be a bit of a hot hand approach... Katon Mitchell obviously just fits the archetype that that he also had success with in Miami, too, whether it was Moer or Achain... But then you hear Omari and Hampton say like they asked him to describe Mike McD McDaniel in one sentence and he said inside zone.

Mitchell in three-headed backfield; archetype fit offset by volume split.
Mitchell is part of McDaniel's three-headed backfield approach alongside Kamani Vidal and Will Hampton, with a hot-hand rotation expected. McDaniel put up wanted posters with Mitchell's face during free agency, signaling his value to the system. Mitchell fits McDaniel's archetype of super-fast, outside-zone-heavy backs similar to Mostert and A'Chain in Miami. However, his inclusion in a three-headed monster limits his standalone volume ceiling. Additionally, Hampton and McDaniel himself have indicated the Chargers offense emphasizes inside zone, suggesting Mitchell may not be the primary back despite the free agency signing and archetype fit.
