Quinyon Mitchell’s Impressive Rookie Season
Quinyon Mitchell, who was the first cornerback selected in the 2023 NFL Draft, has quickly made a name for himself with his outstanding performance. He started in Week 1 and has played like an All-Pro, shutting down some of the NFL’s top wide receivers. Mitchell’s ability to limit opposing receivers has been a significant factor in the Eagles’ success this season.
Defensive Stats and Achievements
Mitchell’s statistics are impressive, with Pro Football Focus ranking him first in the NFL in several categories. He has allowed only 31 receptions, 340 yards, and 60 yards after catch (YAC), with no touchdowns allowed. His coverage grade is 76.3, and he has earned a 74.6 overall grade. Mitchell’s performance has helped the Eagles achieve the second-best pass defense in the NFL.
Impact on the Eagles’ Defense
The Eagles’ defense has been formidable this season, thanks in large part to Mitchell’s contributions. They haven’t allowed a 300-yard passer since Week 4 and have only given up two 100-yard receivers since Week 1. Mitchell’s ability to shut down top receivers has been crucial to the team’s defensive success.
