How do you identify if a cornerback is really good? The number of pass breakups and interceptions? No—when he masters the art of staying unnoticed in the game. And today, we’re here to talk about one of those players. If you take a second and think back, you’ll realize commentators hardly call out Quinyon Mitchell’s name during an Eagles game. Given his performance, saying that he goes almost invisible wouldn’t be an exaggeration. Even Reed Blankenship put his respect on his mate and said, “I don’t have to worry about him. I just look at him, we communicate, and he’s on board with anything that I have to say.”
Quinyon Mitchell was the 1st-round pick back in the 2024 NFL Draft. From that point on, he’s been having one of the best seasons by an Eagles corner rookie since Eric Allen in ‘88. Why? No need to go way back—we can take the most recent instance from the Week 11 game. The Eagles went against Washington, and Mitchell was dominant on Terry McLaurin. He held the WR to 0 targets, 0 yards, and 0 receptions. I know, right? That’s an upcoming star cornerback right there. And you know what’s directly proportional to hard work? Dollars. Mitchell must be making bank by now. We’re here to peek behind the curtains.
