Mitchell ranks sixth in the 2026 cornerback rankings at age 24, jumping from No. 9 last year. In just two seasons, he has worked his way into first-team All-Pro status with 29 pass deflections. An AFC executive said 'Well-rounded coverage game and very competitive against the opposing team's No. 1,' though noted 'Turnover production holds him back from the top of the group for me.' Mitchell has yet to record his first NFL interception, but his metrics are undeniable: he allowed 4.8 yards per target in coverage last season, third best in the NFL among 87 defensive backs targeted at least 50 times; his minus-0.16 expected points added is tied for fourth among cornerbacks (minimum 75 targets faced); he allowed 1.8 yards after the catch per reception, fewest among corners; and his 42% tight-window throw rate was highest in the NFL. The Eagles drafted him 22nd overall in 2024, ending a 22-year drought of first-round cornerback selections.
