The duo of Cooper DeJean and Quinyon Mitchell continues to make history.

DeJean and Mitchell were each named AP first-team All-Pros in their second seasons in the NFL. Mitchell was one of two cornerbacks named to the first-team while DeJean took the only spot for slot cornerbacks.

There are seven instances (twice in Eagles history: Keith Jackson and Eric Allen in 1989) in which a team has had its top two picks from a draft class earn first-team All-Pro honors within their first two seasons.

Only three times has it happened on the same side of the ball (2025 Eagles, 2001 Bears, and 1984 Rams).

DeJean and Mitchell are the first Eagles cornerbacks to earn first-team All-Pro honors since Lito Sheppard in 2004.

Here's a look at just how dominant each of their seasons have been:

DB Cooper DeJean

DeJean helped transform the Eagles' defense last season, and he has only gotten better in Year 2.

He finished the regular season leading all NFL slot CBs in PFF coverage grade (79.3), catch rate allowed (61.4%), passer rating allowed (55.4), and yards allowed per coverage snap (0.72) (min. 350 coverage snaps as a slot CB; min. 50 targets). He still has never allowed a passing touchdown as a slot cornerback.

"Obviously, it's a credit to the people around me and the players that we have," he said. "When you're on a good team and you're winning a lot, things like that come with it. So, I get to be on a great defense, great team. It's a cool accomplishment.

"It's cool to get that recognition alongside Q (Quinyon Mitchell), obviously. What he's done this year and our defense as a whole, just the way we play. Cause if our defense wasn't good, I don't think we'd be getting voted for that."

Virtually never leaving the field, DeJean posted 93 tackles, 16 passes defended, and two interceptions for Philadelphia's top-5 scoring defense. Playing close to the line of scrimmage, DeJean was as steady as they come, and his versatility provided plenty of options for Defensive Coordinator Vic Fangio's unit.

DeJean and Mitchell have been linked since they arrived in Philadelphia after Mitchell went No. 22 overall and DeJean was drafted No. 40 overall. They came in together and spent a lot of time preparing with one another alongside the help of Passing Game Coordinator/Defensive Backs Coach Christian Parker.

"I think Coach Christian Parker, he's a huge part of that, too," DeJean said. "Just welcoming us in, and he's been really hard on us, but I think that's what we need in order to be good players. He's been a huge part of that as well."

CB Quinyon Mitchell

Mitchell earned the nickname Quinyonamo Bay as a rookie, and it became even more fitting in 2025.

According to Next Gen Stats, Quinyon Mitchell's 2025 catch rate allowed (42.4%) is the lowest in a single season by a cornerback since 2021 (min. 60 targets). He also led the league in average target separation (1.8) and ranked second among cornerbacks in tight windows forced (41.2%) and yards after the catch per reception allowed (2.3) (min. 35 receptions).

Mitchell finished third at his position in both passer rating allowed (63.4) and forced incompletions (16, tied). He was the only cornerback to not give up a TD in 600+ coverage snaps.

"Just very excited, all the hard work [paying off]," Mitchell said. "My teammates, my coaches, everybody's pouring into me and me just going out there and just handling my business. ... I feel like that's a stamp now. I'm trending in the right direction with my technique, while making plays. It means a lot."

Mitchell took on a bigger role this season, switching sides of the field depending on the matchup. It was something he hadn't done before in his football career, but it clearly didn't take long for him to feel comfortable.

"We wanted to come here to Philly, make an impact on the city, on the team," Mitchell said about earning the honor alongside DeJean. "We just gotta keep our head down and keep working."

While Mitchell was a first-round pick, he has a bit of an underdog story after playing his entire college career at the University of Toledo. It's something he reflects on from time-to-time, and earning first-team All-Pro honors gives him a good reason to look back at where he came from.

"I take pride in coming from a smaller school," Mitchell said. "I hope it inspires people who are coming from the same conference, smaller conferences as me just to know wherever you come from, if you put the work in and put the time in, you can achieve anything." — Written by Matt Ryan
