Philadelphia landed a complete baller in Quinyon Mitchell, and the quiet rookie cornerback seems to do his most talking when he’s on the field.
An All-American at Toledo who turned down NIL deals to stay loyal, Mitchell has a fan in Brandon Graham, and he’s garnered the attention of All-Pro wide receiver A.J. Brown. During Day 2 of the Eagles minicamp, Brown told a hilarious story about Mitchell’s first words to him being a bit of trash talk.

Kelee Ringo is going to put up a fight, but Mitchell will start as CB2 opposite Darius Slay.
