Darius Slay gave an hilarious answer when asked if the team's first-round rookie draft pick is ready for a big role in season opener vs. Green Bay Packers.
PHILADELPHIA – Vic Fangio is known for telling it like it is, but the Eagles defensive coordinator doesn’t offer the high-quality entertainment value Darius Slay delivers.
Instead, he offered this: “He's been ready since he stepped out of the momma. Since he came outta momma he’s been ready.”Slay turned to Mitchell, who was getting practice-ready in the locker next to Slay’s, and said: “How ’bout it, Q?” Fangio answered a question about whether nor not Mitchell is a guy who will be on the field for every play against the Packers and if he is ready to handle that type of responsibility?That kind of confidence isn’t easily built for a wily, old-school coach like Fangio, and that isn’t lost on the soft-spoken and understated rookie.
A part of his game Mitchell won’t deviate from is the trash talk he exhibited this summer, unafraid to call some of A.J. Brown’s routes and never backing away from the challenge of going one-on-one against him and DeVonta Smith all training camp long.Mitchell has shown the ability to play inside and out at cornerback and expect to see him do just that against the Packers. He never played inside, at the slot cornerback spot, before spring’s OTAs.
