Quinyon Mitchell NFL Draft Profile
Quinyon Mitchell, a talented cornerback from Toledo, has the potential to become an exceptional player in the National Football League. Due to his impressive film and insane athleticism, Mitchell is rising on draft boards as an athletic freak.
Impressive NFL Combine
Mitchell is an exceptional athlete with a remarkable Relative Athletic Score (RAS) of 9.78. He weighs only 195 pounds and stands at 6'0". If Mitchell wants to dominate receivers like he did in college, he may need to gain 15 pounds of muscle.
He completed the 40-yard dash in just 4.33 seconds, which required immense speed and agility. During the 43-degree reaction drill, Mitchell's speed was among the fastest ever recorded for a cornerback, reaching almost 20 miles per hour.
Film Don't Lie
It is often said that the film never lies. When you watch Quinyon Mitchell play, you quickly realize that he has exceptional speed and an innate ability to predict route patterns, which leads to many big plays. Quinyon performs on the field like a cornerback, but he tackles with the aggression and strength of a safety.
He is a natural at intercepting the ball, as evidenced by his impressive statistics of 37 pass breakups and 6 interceptions in just two years at Toledo. However, he sometimes plays too close to the receiver, jumping early when triggered, which can be a liability. His smooth transitions make him a scary sight for opposing wide receivers.
Summary
Quinyon Mitchell is an impressive athlete, despite weighing only 200 pounds, he can squat over 500 pounds. He performed remarkably in his last two years of college, but he had an even better pre-draft offseason. Mitchell has been impressing scouts from the Senior Bowl to the NFL Combine and could be the first cornerback selected in the draft.
