What should the 49ers do with Elijah Mitchell?
So, one thing you may have realized watching Isaac Guerendo come out with some speedy runs and an impressive showing against the Chicago Bears: This kid has a future. He’s also cheap, being on his rookie deal.
He also can get injured, which is why he’s out for Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. After his Bears coming out party, Guerendo has had difficulties either getting to practice or staying on the field. Against the Los Angeles Rams, he had 16 carries, averaging 3.6 yards per carry.
Some want to say those numbers mean he’s no good. Sure, if you want to label him as bad after *checks notes* two games as the starter. Not to mention all the other issues that the team is dealing with.
