From attending a Sixers playoff game together to showing their skills, Mitchell and DeJean are building a relationship as they work to become part of the team's secondary of the future.The night before their first on-field practice of Eagles rookie minicamp, Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean got a crash course in the magnitude of Philly sports.
When the Eagles selected Mitchell in the first round, DeJean sent him a text message to extend his congratulations. One day later, the two became teammates. Now that they’re on Philly soil together for the first time, they’re making an effort to get to know each other better, on and off the field. “Cooper has obviously versatility,” Sirianni said. “Quinyon has big-play ability. They both have big-play ability. Obviously, we’re not to a point where this guy’s playing here or that guy’s playing here or this guy’s limited to just this. We’re just out there right now getting some reps out there and seeing where they fit.”
Regardless of whether he becomes neighbors or housemates with Slay, Mitchell said he and DeJean are looking forward to learning from all of their established teammates.
