The Philadelphia Eagles have selected cornerback Quinyon Mitchell from the University of Toledo with the 22nd overall pick in the NFL Draft. Mitchell, known for his impressive defensive skills, did not allow a touchdown in 437 coverage snaps in 2023 and has been praised for his speed, recording a 40-yard dash time of 4.33 seconds. His selection marks him as Toledo's second first-round pick ever, following Dan Williams in 1993. Mitchell's performance, including 32 pass breakups since 2022 and being named a second-team all-American for two consecutive years, has made him a standout player. The Eagles considered him the best cornerback in the draft after extensive evaluation, and he played for Nick Sirianni's college teammates at Toledo.
The Eagles secondary just got a ROCKET BOOST. If you think you are aggressive, you haven’t met Quinyon Mitchell yet. He is sticky in coverage, was a pass break up magnet at Toledo leading the MAC in pass breakups back to back years. He brotherly shoves WRs off the line with ease. https://t.co/zM63mO5Ton
New on @TheNFLWire: Most people didn't know about Quinyon Mitchell until he blew up the Senior Bowl, but everybody knows about him now. The Eagles were in obvious need of another fast, aggressive cornerback with ball skills to pair with Darius Slay, and to be the team's Darius…

Saw Toledo CB Quinyon Mitchell up close and personal at the Senior Bowl. He was incredible, especially in man-coverage. Eagles got a dawg as the kids like to say.

Eagles didn’t have to move up and still got the first corner in the draft. An electric player in Quinyon Mitchell. The draft board fell perfectly for Howie Roseman. https://t.co/RfHTG6lQbn
Quinyon Mitchell can play. Eagles keep drafting defensive talent.
The first defensive back is off the board at #22, Toledo’s Quinyon Mitchell.
Boom. Quinyon Mitchell is the pick. Love it! I didn't think there was a chance he would slide to 22. Great job by Howie and the front office.
Quinyon Mitchell told me back in Jan. that he wanted to meet Darius Slay, a player he's modeled his game after and admired. Three months later, he's certain to get his wish. On the #Eagles first-round pick and the connections he has with the team: https://t.co/0Hkwl0bZSW
The #eagles thought Mitchell was the top CB in the draft. He’s the most complete and proved that at the Senior Bowl. Nate Wiggins is the most talented, but Mitchell the best overall prospect. https://t.co/cfJEpuZWry

Quinyon Mitchell is the first Toledo to go in round one since 1993🚀 https://t.co/obvN0K6IgB
Quinyon Mitchell: 6 foot, 195. Great ball production: 44 passes defended and 6 INTs in 27 games the past two seasons. Ran 4.33. Did not commit a penalty last year and had just one DPI over the last two seasons (per @dpbrugler). Did not play a lot of press in college, but was…

Mitchell, 22, is 6-feet and 195 pounds from Toledo. He ran a 4.33-second 40-yard dash. Second-team all-American two years in a row. Played for Nick Sirianni's college teammates at Toledo. https://t.co/LTDvxvgADj
Had Mitchell as my most likely player selected by the #Eagles in The Inquirer draft meter and the team moving for him at No. 16 in my mock draft. They didn’t move and still get a prospect they worked a lot on, per my reporting. The Eagles liked both Mitchell and Arnold a lot,… https://t.co/MB7qs9fpcR
Quinyon Mitchell had 37 pass break ups over the past two seasons. He had as good of a pre-draft process as any defensive player in the draft. The Eagles desperately needed speed at corner and this is a perfect fit. A great value.
Quinyon Mitchell is generally considered one of the two best CBs in the draft. He's 6-foot, 195, runs a 4.3 in the 40. ... ... I would've bet the Eagles would have had to trade up 7-8 spots to have a shot at him. https://t.co/lz5wrYGt9B
In going to Philadelphia at No. 22, Quinyon Mitchell becomes Toledo's second first-round pick ever, joining Dan Williams (No. 11 to Denver in 1993).
The #eagles always thought the way the top half would fall, they'd have their pick at CB. Philly had the top 10 CBs in the facility during the process. They did a ton of work and considered Quinyon Mitchell the best CB in the draft.
Quinyon Mitchell is my CB1. Size, speed and physicality are all there. Jams at the line. Fluid hips and can open and close them quickly. Low backpedal. Doesn't play the ball much. Lower level of competition. Pure cover corner for the #Eagles #HallamAnalysis
Eagles are getting a stud in CB Quinyon Mitchell He didn’t allow a TD in 402 coverage snaps in 2023. Ran a 4.33 in the 40. 32 pass breakups since 2022. 7 more than any other FBS player.
