Terry McLaurin saw firsthand just how good Mitchell is. Plenty of others watching Thursday night’s game against the Commanders took notice too.
McLaurin was coming off a solid performance against the Pittsburgh Steelers, catching all five of his catchable targets for 113 yards and four first downs in his team’s loss as he continues to develop a rapport with rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. Against the Eagles, however, McLaurin didn’t have a single target in the first half and finished the night with one reception for 10 yards againstThe Washington receiver complimented the rookie corner after the game.
“I think our guys did a nice job going against . … A lot of credit to Q and Slay and the underneath coverage that was helping them go other places with the football,” Sirianni said after the game. “Good team defense takes being on the same page, playing with great effort to the football, which I saw a lot in this game, and then just tackling well.”
After Mitchell’s performance, James Palmer captured a moment between the rookie and former Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman.
