The Philadelphia Eagles are lucky they have Quinyon Mitchell.
Philadelphia Eagles star Quinyon Mitchell made the NFL top 100 players list again.
Mitchell comes in at No. 47.
For the Eagles last season, Mitchell finished with 45 solo tackles and 17 passes defended. He made his first Pro Bowl and first All-Pro team.
"Quickly rising up the ranks of the game’s elite cover men, Mitchell has been sensational in each of his two NFL seasons," Grant Gordon of NFL.com wrote. "The Defensive Rookie of the Year runner-up in 2024 when Philly won the Super Bowl, Mitchell has garnered noticed as evidenced by earning All-Pro and Pro Bowl accolades in his sophomore campaign. The Eagles were eighth in passing yards allowed and allowed the fewest passing touchdowns in the league, further supporting just how valuable their young corner already is.
"Following the Eagles' Week 9 bye, Mitchell aligned as the boundary cornerback on 74.1% of his snaps from Week 10 to the end of the regular season. In that time, Mitchell had more passes defensed (nine) than receptions allowed (six) across 29 targets faced and 233 coverage snaps when aligned to the boundary. Those figures translate to a 20.7% completion percentage allowed, a mark over three times lower than the season-long NFL average from that alignment (65.5%)."
Mitchell has 29 passes defended in two seasons with the Eagles. It's pretty much impossible to record a catch on him.
The Eagles' defense finished fifth in the NFL in scoring defense last season, giving up only 19.1 points per game. Philadelphia's 56.8% completion percentage allowed led the league, while its 75.4 passer rating ranked second.
Mitchell helped the Eagles win the Super Bowl in 2025 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Philadelphia won the NFC East again last season, but the San Francisco 49ers beat the Eagles in the wild-card round of the playoffs.
The Eagles open the 2026 season against the Washington Commanders at home. Let's see if Mitchell can record his first NFL interception against Jayden Daniels.
