‘That’s my boy’ – Chiefs RB sends heartfelt message to new $30m addition Patrick Mahomes ‘will love’
The Kansas City Chiefs have been busy this offseason. Their additions of running back Elijah Mitchell and offensive linesman Jaylen Moore are all expected to contribute to the team’s journey back to the Super Bowl. Elijah Mithcell will be reunited with his former teammate Jaylon MooreGetty Mitchell agreed to a one-year deal with the Chiefs at the beginning of March as he looks to make his comeback to the NFL after missing all of last season with a hamstring injury. The Chiefs will be confident that a healthy Mitchell will be a useful role player for them and will complement starter Isiah Pacheco. After agreeing that deal, the 26-year-old has been speaking to reporters where he was quick to praise another free agent addition by the Chiefs, offensive tackle Jaylon Moore. “That’s my boy, bruh like we came in together. Since day one, we clicked,” said Mitchell. “But, man, Jaylon (Moore), he brings a lot, even though he was (playing behind) one of the best tackles in the league (49ers’ Trent Williams). “Jaylon is definitely a sleeper, and Patrick Mahomes is going to love what Jaylon brings to it. He can protect. He’s a good guy, man, and an awesome football player. So he’s going to be good. I’m excited for him.” Mitchell and Moore have been teammates at the 49ers since they were both drafted together in the 2021 NFL draft. The pair will be hoping to achieve success in Kansas City after falling short in San Francsisco. Moore will have high expectations attached to his arrival in Kansas. The 27-year-old was signed in the first hour of NFL free agency and agreed a two-year contract worth $30 million, including $21.2 million guaranteed Jaylon Moore and Elijah Mitchell played at the 49ers togetherGetty Moore will have the opportunity to be a first-time starter and the linesman most responsible for protecting quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ blind side. A challenge he will relish and has already welcomed, as he recently told reporters how excited he is to play with Mahomes. “Right after we got the deal done, I was stoked, and it was great conversations between me and the coaching staff,” Moore said. “In my opinion, the tape doesn’t lie. I know it’s a small sample size, but I just go out there and play ball the way I know how. “They see something in me, so I’m excited to go balls to the walls for these guys.” The Chiefs needed a long-term solution at left tackle and without an abundance of options before the draft, Moore was a smart coup by the side.
