Eagles' Riq Woolen Heaps Praise on All-Pro Teammate Quinyon Mitchell
Riq Woolen, fresh off a Super Bowl win with the Seahawks, is already impressed by his new Eagles teammate Quinyon Mitchell.
Philadelphia Eagles and 2024 NFL Draft pick Quinyon Mitchell have garnered praise from All-Pro cornerback Riq Woolen for his skills and impact on the team. Mitchell, who was drafted 22nd overall, had been projected as a top-10 talent coming out of Toledo. Mitchell made an immediate impact in his rookie season, helping the Eagles secure a Super Bowl victory and earning PFWA All-Rookie honors.
In his second season, Mitchell's performance was even more impressive, racking up 45 combined tackles, 17 pass breakups, and a fumble recovery in just 17 games. Despite not recording an interception, his value was recognized with a Pro Bowl selection and first-team All-Pro honors, with opposing quarterbacks rating his targeted passes at a 58.4 passer rating.
Woolen, impressed by Mitchell's patience and confidence, believes the young cornerback's presence inspires his own performance. With a $15 million deal signed after his rookie contract expired, Mitchell and Woolen form a formidable duo, potentially setting the stage for Mitchell to have his best season yet.
