We probably didn\u2019t talk enough about Quinyon Mitchell in 2024.<\/p>\n

In a way, the Eagles\u2019 first-round pick from last year was a bit boring in all the best ways. The Eagles drafted Mitchell with the No. 22 overall pick out of Toledo. After making him earn it throughout the season, the Eagles started Mitchell from Day 1 and never moved him.<\/p>\n

During training camp, Mitchell began as the extra DB in the dime package, then worked as the nickel and finally took his spot as a starting outside corner. He might not move for another decade.<\/p>\n

Mitchell ended up starting 16 games in the regular season and all four in the playoffs and was the Eagles\u2019 most consistent and best overall corner. While Mitchell dropped a few near interceptions in the regular season, he did have 12 pass breakups and then he picked off two passes in the postseason. One pick came off Jordan Love in the wild card game and one came off Jayden Daniels in the NFC Championship Game.<\/p>\n

Had Mitchell not dropped a couple near-interceptions in the regular season, he would have had a better shot at Rookie of the Year or perhaps even the Pro Bowl. Mitchell finished second in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting behind Los Angeles Rams pass rusher Jared Verse. Verse got 36 first-place votes and Mitchell got 9.<\/p>\n

This offseason, the Eagles moved on from Darius Slay, who is now in Pittsburgh. Slay was a mentor to Mitchell and helped him learn life in the NFL.<\/p>\n

Last season, Slay was the Eagles\u2019 left cornerback and Mitchell manned the right side. But this spring, Mitchell was working as the LCB. That could perhaps be the first step to Mitchell traveling with top receivers this season or at some point in his career.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou see all the corners doing it,\u201d Mitchell said this spring. \u201cRight now, just one day at a time. Like coach say, we on the mountain right now.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo it\u2019s just getting better each and every day, learning new stuff, getting better at my strengths and weaknesses. I\u2019ll just say it\u2019s getting better each and every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Entering this season, ProFootballFocus<\/a> has Mitchell ranked as the No. 16-best cornerback in the entire NFL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eagles 2025 most important list: Quinyon Mitchell originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia Over the next few weeks…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":195983,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2068],"tags":[913,10035,9718,1171,3395,9313,25,7,7191,10167,3417,734,911,1724,480,9713,58,9715,6,12510,242,109,2476,520,2024,9716,1840,425,14452],"class_list":{"0":"post-195982","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia-eagles","8":"tag-andrew-mukuba","9":"tag-azeez-ojulari","10":"tag-cam-jurgens","11":"tag-cooper-dejean","12":"tag-dallas-goedert","13":"tag-darius-slay","14":"tag-eagles","15":"tag-football","16":"tag-jahan-dotson","17":"tag-jalyx-hunt","18":"tag-jared-verse","19":"tag-jayden-daniels","20":"tag-jihaad-campbell","21":"tag-jordan-love","22":"tag-kelee-ringo","23":"tag-landon-dickerson","24":"tag-los-angeles-rams","25":"tag-moro-ojomo","26":"tag-nfl","27":"tag-nolan-smith","28":"tag-philadelphia","29":"tag-philadelphia-eagles","30":"tag-philadelphiaeagles","31":"tag-pittsburgh","32":"tag-quinyon-mitchell","33":"tag-reed-blankenship","34":"tag-tanner-mckee","35":"tag-the-eagles","36":"tag-tyler-steen"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114828670665439592","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/195982","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=195982"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/195982\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/195983"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=195982"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=195982"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=195982"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
