In an effort to finally eliminate the countless deep balls and crippling big plays, the Philadelphia Eagles reconstructed their secondary.
Ronald Darby and Malcolm Jenkins have moved on, while K’Von Wallace, Will Parks, Nickel Robey-Coleman, and Darius Slay have joined the team.
The Eagles are utilizing a more hybrid, positionless secondary and former safety and Jalen Mills is spearheading the change.
While chatting with The Eagles Insider, Dave Spadaro, Mills admitted that he was “excited” for the position switch, while embracing his newfound “responsibilities.”
“I’ll do whatever for the win,” Mills said. “I embrace the responsibilities.”
“It’s a new position. It’s a new field and it’s going to be new energy,” Mills said.
With Parks and Wallace in the fold now, Mills could see more time playing in the slot, or with his new positionless approach, you could see one of the other safeties in the box, while the former cornerback flashes his versatility and chases a tight end or bigger slot receiver around.
The possibilities are endless and Mills sounds prepared for the ride.
