According to Adoree' Jackson, traveling requires a cornerback to possess a pair of traits: "A little bit of confidence and some ‘fuck it.’"

Quinyon Mitchell isn't lacking in either. Why the second-year cornerback is blossoming in his new role: www.inquirer.com/eagles/quiny...

Quinyon Mitchell is blossoming in his second season with the Eagles in a new ‘badge of honor’ role

Last October, Davis told his trainer, mom, and agent that he was ready to get “locked into the process” and be a more impactful and consistent player. He is living up to that promise so far in 2025.
