The Eagles drafted Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean in the first two rounds of last April's NFL draft, and the results were championship-worthy. Philadelphia was 2-2 entering the Week 5 bye, but lost one regular-season game after DeJean was inserted into the lineup in place of Avonte Maddox.
The Eagles defeated the Chiefs in Super Bowl 59, and finished the year with both Mitchell and DeJean being finalists for the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year award.
With James Bradberry and Darius Slay departing, Mitchell will have an even more critical role in Vic Fangio's defense this season, and he's spent training camp playing left and right cornerback as he prepares to travel with the opposing team's best player.
After a dynamic rookie season, Mitchell was just ranked No. 49 best in the NFL's Top 100 Players of 2025, becoming the second Eagles cornerback to make the list this year.
Mitchell, a Defensive Rookie of the Year finalist, is a key player for the Eagles after they lost several cornerbacks in free agency.
On defense last year, Mitchell helped lead the charge with 46 tackles and 12 passes defended in 16 games. Last season, Mitchell tied for sixth in the league with a 79.2 coverage grade, recording 10 pass breakups and two interceptions, while ranking fifth in man coverage grade at 82.2 — one spot ahead of Cooper DeJean — and added a strong 77.4 grade in zone coverage.
