The 22nd overall pick in the NFL draft last spring doesn't seem to have a prima donna bone in his body.
PHILADELPHIA – Not only is Quinyon Mitchell rookie of the year worthy, but he is a team-first player. The Eagles’ first-round pick last April doesn’t seem to have a prima donna bone in his body. He would appear to be whatever the opposite of diva is.
“I feel like that was fun just him being out there with me; that was my favorite moment,” he said during a locker room interview on Friday, two days before the Eagles will try to clinch the NFC East title by beating the Commanders in Landover, Md., on Sunday. In case you don’t know the receivers on the scout team, Mitchell named them – Danny Ainias Smith, Danny Gray, Parris Campbell, and Kyle Phillips.Eagles CB Quinyon Mitchell goes through an indoor walkthrough practice leading up to a Week 4 game in Tampa vs. the Buccaneers. / Ed Kracz/Eagles on SI
Smith joked about Mitchell’s lack of interceptions, though lately, teams don’t seem to be going his way much. Darius Slay alluded to being picked on by the Carolina Panthers in Philly’s win two weeks ago.
