Quinyon Mitchell Looks Good in Eagles Debut
The Eagles won their first game of the season down in Brazil, beating the Packers 34-29.
There were many players who looked good out there; Saquon Barkley had an amazing debut as an Eagle, scoring three touchdowns.
Another player with a really good Eagles debut was Quinyon Mitchell, and it was exciting to watch.
Everyone was curious about how Mitchell would look in his first NFL game. Coming from a smaller school and transitioning to the NFL can be a tough task. Mitchell looked right at home, though, and in his first game, he looked like he could be an Eagle for the foreseeable future. In his first game, Mitchell allowed four catches for nine yards, allowed a 66.9 passer rating, and had three pass breakups.
It was extremely exciting to watch Quinyon Mitchell flourish on the field.
It feels like the Eagles found someone who can lead the defense in the future. It was fun to see him talking trash and having some swagger on the field, too. It is even more exciting that he brings that kind of energy to the defense.
Other players really impressed me, too. AJ Brown, Saquon Barkley, DeVonta Smith, and Zach Baun all looked amazing out there. I was nervous leading up to the game. The feeling of last year’s collapse, combined with new coordinators and having to travel, didn’t feel great before the game. After the game, though, it feels like the Eagles are back to form and can be legit contenders once again.
The game wasn’t perfect, and there is surely stuff the Eagles have to clean up.
Although it wasn’t perfect, many Birds played extremely well, and Quinyon Mitchell’s rookie debut was one of the most impressive performances.
