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.
