Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio had some interesting things to say about the team's two top rookies, saying one will have a big role, the other isn't where he needs to be, yet.
PHILADELPHIA – Eagles first-round rookie cornerback Quinyon Mitchell is playing in Friday night’s season opener against the Green Bay Packers. Maybe starting. Quite possibly playing every snap.
“I think everybody, anybody's frustrated when they're out hurt, they're not able to play, you know, so it's a little frustrating,” said DeJean. “But I find different ways to learn and still keep progressing.""I think just by getting back out there and getting those reps I felt more and more confident as I've progressed since the injury, it's been good to get out there and get the reps and kind of see the receivers moving in front of me,” he said.
Fangio did not hesitate when asked if Mitchell would play just about every snap and if he was ready for that responsibility.The DC added, “He's just played well. He's done a good job picking up his responsibilities, done a good job playing, and he will be out there.
