Rookie standouts Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean rank No. 3 on Pro Football Focus' cornerback duo list, validating Philadelphia Eagles' draft strategy and defensive overhaul

Eagles defensive backs Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean ranked among NFL's top cornerback duos heading into the 2025 season.

The Eagles want to keep DeJean on the field at all times, and safety could be a way for them to accomplish that. Based on how the cornerback situation plays out on the outside between Kelee Ringo and Adoree' Jackson, Fangio could move DeJean to safety in base defense to pair with Blankenship.
