What's one thing that all of these guys have in common? Well for starters, they are all top 10 in the league right now in either receiving yards, targets, or receptions. Those are 5 of the best receivers in the league right now if we take AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith out of the equation.
Another thing they all have in common is that they all got locked the fuck up by Quinyon Mitchell.
All of them have been held to under 25 yards by Quinyon.
There was a time when people were arguing about whether or not Quinyon Mitchell was the Defensive Rookie of the Year. Which is laughable because he's easily one of the best corners in the league and should at least have his name mentioned in the conversation for Defensive Player of the Year. Week after week this man puts his receiver on an island and eats him alive.
It's at a point now where quarterbacks don't even look at that side of the field.
You look at the rest of the Eagles schedule this season. They have Zay Flowers coming up in week 13, and George Pickens in week 15. Then obviously Terry McLaurin, CeeDee Lamb, and Malik Nabers again to close it out. 5 more big tests for Quinyon Mitchell. There's just not a world where Quinyon Mitchell isn't the best rookie in football if he's able to lock all those guys up in San Quinyon.
