Jalen Mills is fully embracing the switch to the safety position and feisty former cornerback is prepared to fill the position discarded by Malcolm Jenkins and bring a whole new level of competitiveness.
Mills has had the unfortunate circumstances of learning his new position via a virtual offseason but that hasn’t stopped his confidence.
During a recent interview on 97.5 The Fanatic, Mills shot down talk of the Eagles pursuing Jamal Adams as he prepares for a “breakout season” at a new position.
#Eagles DB Jalen Mills joined me on @975TheFanatic Sunday. Regarding Jamal Adams: "I feel like I'm the top. .. So as far as when we're talking about any type of other players and bringing in other guys, especially at the safety position, I definitely feel like I can hold my own." pic.twitter.com/LIF5XZyABq

“I feel like, at my position, my competitiveness and the position that I (know) this Eagles defense is going to be able to put me in to make the plays that I know I can make, that I’m going to have a breakout season,” Mills told 97.5 The Fanatic’s Rob Maaddi via NJ.com. “I’m ready for it, so as far as when we’re talking about any type of other players and bringing in other guys, especially at the safety position, I definitely feel like I can hold my own.”
Mills is on the hot spot after the departure of Jenkins, he’ll be asked to perform from the start of training camp or risk losing ground to Will Parks and rookie, K’Von Wallace.
