The Philadelphia Eagles could field the NFL's premier cornerback trio, with Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean already asserting themselves as first-team All-Pros. The addition of Riq Woolen raises the stakes—can he play disciplined enough to flank Mitchell and help form the league’s best secondary?
The Philadelphia Eagles could field the NFL's premier cornerback trio, with Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean already asserting themselves as first-team All-Pros. Mitchell, leading the team in passes defended and topping the league in both catch rate allowed and passer rating allowed, is redefining what it means to be a lockdown corner in the league. DeJean combines size, speed, and versatility, racking up 93 tackles and excelling at nickel corner while showing the ability to cover tight ends, running backs, and slot receivers alike.
The addition of Riq Woolen raises the stakes—can he play disciplined enough to flank Mitchell and help form the league’s best secondary? Woolen brings proven ball skills and the physical attributes to match up with elite wideouts, but must cut down on penalties and capitalize on increased targets. As the Eagles gear up for another playoff run, this cornerback group could be the x-factor opposing offenses fear most.
