Some have to wait and wait, and finally it arrives. And then there are Cooper DeJean and Quinyon Mitchell. They did not have to wait at all.
Some wait and wait, and it never happens. “Being here at the Super Bowl , some guys go their whole career without playing in the Super Bowl , so being here and just taking it all in, you know,’’ DeJean said. Especially for a pair of rookie cornerbacks who helped transform the Eagles secondary, with their next and last assignment of their NFL debut season a shot at Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in Super Bowl 2025.
Mitchell had nine pass breakups — 11th among perimeter corners — and he allowed a target once in 8.3 coverage snaps — 16th out of 127 qualifying players. Hearing and seeing the two rookies this week is a study in contrasts. Mitchell grew up in Williston, Fla., and played four years at Toledo. He hails from Odebolt, Iowa, described on the municipality’s website as “a lovely small town nestled along tree-lined streets, located amid the rolling soybean and corn fields of Sac County in northwest Iowa.’’
