No. 47 on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2026… @Eagles CB Quinyon Mitchell! @NFLFilms https://t.co/bOQbShgDrv Via @NFL on X

What happened: The NFL Top 100 Players of 2026 order is determined by player voting. Mitchell enters the upcoming season after starting all 16 games for Philadelphia in 2025.

Why it matters: Mitchell earned first-team All-Pro honors following his second NFL season. His league-best catch rate allowed and zero coverage touchdowns show that interception totals alone cannot measure shutdown play.
