The Eagles first-round pick has plenty of moxy and his play so far backs up the trash talk he enjoys doing.
PHILADELPHIA - Some theater arts spilled over into Eagles training camp on Tuesday, with a Oscar winning performance from rookie Quinyon Mitchell in his redzone matchups against veteran A.J. Brown.
Oh, Mitchell raises the bar all right, but he doesn’t do it quietly. He likes to talk some trash while lifting it. Remember in the spring when he called one of Brown’s routes trash? On the first rep Mitchell got against Brown, the receiver wanted to run an inside route, but Mitchell cut him off, eliminating Brown from any consideration Jalen Hurts may have had in throwing him the ball. And being in the red zone, there isn’t time to work your way open.Brown shook his head and Mitchell rose up to his full height of 6-0, but somehow looked bigger in that moment. He started Brown down for several seconds and kept staring at him as Brown trotted off the field.
Mitchell wasn’t. On another rep between the two, Brown was able to make a nifty one-hand catch on a perfectly placed ball by Brown, but Mitchell had ridden him toward the out-of-bounds area just past the end zone pylon. There wasn’t much room there, and Brown may have made the reception, but he was out of bounds.
