“I’M HERE TO REWRITE HISTORY” — Former 49ers Bulldozer Aims to Form a “Perfect Duo” with Isiah Pacheco

Kansas City, MO — The Kansas City Chiefs aren’t merely hunting for a stop-gap behind Isiah Pacheco. Since signing Elijah Mitchell in March, the vision of a two-headed backfield built on speed + grit has taken shape: Pacheco remains the engine, while Mitchell is the plug-and-play piece to steady tempo, grind yards, and close games in the fourth quarter. (Mitchell signed as a free agent on March 10, 2025; the team later confirmed it in the new-player availability.)

Right before Week 1, Mitchell fired off a hard line:

“I’M HERE TO REWRITE HISTORY.”

He expanded on it with his trademark competitive tone.

I’m a competitor. I came here to compete,” Mitchell said: “My job is to complement Isiah as best I can—and we’re going to be the best duo in the league. But beyond that, I came to Kansas City to rewrite history: to change how people talk about the Chiefs’ run game, about durability in December, and about what this backfield stands for in January.

In the meeting room, Mitchell’s presence lets the Chiefs diversify 21/12 personnel, use motion to pull defenders toward Pacheco’s orbit, then hammer light boxes—or punish heavy fronts off play-action. Mitchell isn’t flowery about it: “I’ve been running the ball my whole life—let me do my job,” he said in spirit during his first availability.

 

Kansas City enters with a Pacheco–Mitchell core, plus Kareem Hunt’s experience and Brashard Smith’s juice for specialized roles (returns/situational packages). That’s the foundation to turn Mitchell’s declaration into a plan—not just a pregame slogan.

To cap his pre-opener availability, Mitchell summed it up:

“We’re not here to split carries; we’re here to set a standard. With Isiah, every touch is a statement — and in Kansas City, we’re rewriting the backfield script.”

Steelers Linked To Saints SuperStar With 5x Pro Bowl & 2x All-Pro in Blockbuster Trade
Pittsburgh, PA — According to a  circulating on X (Twitter), the Pittsburgh Steelers have been “linked” to Alvin Kamara—the New Orleans Saints superstar, five-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro—as a potential target ahead of the trade deadline. The speculation has heated up as various outlets have also floated Kamara as a logical “fit” should the Steelers look to add a versatile, late-season playmaker on offense. At 30, Kamara is a rare dual-threat RB who excels as both a runner and receiver. He tied the NFL single-game record with six rushing touchdowns (Christmas Day 2020 vs. the Vikings), and he has recently been recognized as the Saints’ all-time leader in rushing yards. Across his career: 5× Pro Bowl, 2× Second-Team All-Pro, and a skill set that meshes with Pittsburgh’s motion/spacing concepts—screens, angle/choice routes, safe check-downs, and short play-action. Tactically, if a move ever materialized, Kamara would immediately put stress on short-to-intermediate coverages, force defenses to roll a safety, and give Pittsburgh intriguing two-back looks alongside Najee Harris on 3rd-and-medium and in the red zone. In this hypothetical scenario, Kamara voices a desire for a fresh challenge after hitting so many personal milestones in New Orleans: “I’ve achieved just about everything with the Saints, and I want a new challenge for myself. What could be better than a team competing directly for a Super Bowl? Just thinking about wearing Black and Gold really excites me.” As of now, there has been no official confirmation from the Steelers or the Saints regarding any talks. Still, Kamara’s résumé and toolbox explain why his name is quickly paired with Pittsburgh whenever rumors of an offensive upgrade surface. With 5× Pro Bowls, 2× All-Pro honors, and a proven knack for tilting games as both a runner and receiver, even a whisper on social media is enough to make Steelers Nation perk up.
