Quinyon Mitchell has quietly been one of the most productive Corners in the FBS over the past 2 seasons. He is an incredible coverage player, but can his play translate from the MAC to The NFL?

Every draft cycle there are a couple to a few prospects who I firmly believe will become Superstars at the NFL level this year of course is no different but it’s easy to pick out the Marvin Harrison jors the Caleb Williams of the world but I like to dig just a little
Bit deeper which is where the focal point of today’s Prospect profile comes into play Toledo Rockets quinan Mitchell if you are new to my Channel or new to this series The purpose of these videos is to evaluate a player’s strengths areas to improve upon scheme fit team fits Pro comparison and overall draft
Projection so if you enjoyed this video be sure to leave a like And subscribe so you don’t miss any more great draft content quinan Mitchell is a long rangy corner with a filled out 6ot 197 lb frame the name of Mitchell’s game is production he has had an excellent two
Season stretch in Toledo in 2022 Mitchell played 837 snaps across 13 games he totaled 41 tackles three and a half tackles for a loss five interceptions two pick sixes and 19 pass breakups not to mention an unbelievable 32.4 passer rating against in 2023 Mitchell followed it up yet
Again totaling 41 tackles two for loss one interception and 18 pass breakups absolutely Elite consistent ball production Mitchell played a good amount of Offman and Zone coverage his route recognition ability is excellent Mitchell does a nice job reading routes from his landmarks and squatting before driving
Downhill he uses a side saddle or bail technique to keep everything in front of him and prevent the deep ball as I mentioned before Mitchell has tremendous ball skills and production over the past two seasons he battles at the catch point with an entitled attitude he is as competitive and disruptive as any
Cornerback I’ve studied in this class at the catch point I love how he attacks the receiver’s hands and punches through the pocket to force incompletions Mitchell is skilled at undercutting routes and creating turnover opportunities he anticipates the receiver’s break and drives on the football Mitchell is a fluid mover he
Has loose hips and good transitional speed while he’s not the fastest Corner Mitchell has good top end speed and won’t lose any speed transitioning from the back pedal either Mitchell mirrors underneath routes very well and does a good job of keeping most plays in front of him Mitchell also provides some pop
As a tackler crushing receivers on the sideline to force the ball out at the catch point now Mitchell like every other Prospect comes with his fair share of areas that he can improve upon Mitchell rarely aligns impress man leading to questions about his recovery speed can he lose early and recover to
Get back into phase with decent speed I’m not entirely sure about that and the combine and his prod day will tell us a little bit more that we need to know Mitchell’s stride as a runner is a little restricted and his footwork can be choppy at times his pre- snap
Alignment could improve to ensure he’s playing to the strengths of the defensive coverage as well while I love Mitchell’s aggressiveness to trigger and drive downhill he can be a little overaggressive and completely sell out for the big play there are opportunities made available to catch him with a
Double move and draw him down Hill to open up a deep shot deep down the field while his back pedal is adequate there can be lateness or delays in switching to running he needs to get a little better with anticipating that switch and hop out of his back pedal
Just a split second sooner in terms of a scheme fit for quinan Mitchell we have to take in account his speed while good it’s not Elite and his recovery speed remains in question since he rarely lines up in press man I would like to see Mitchell in a cover three or Offman
Defensive scheme I think that this will maximize his strengths and let him be as aggressive as he wants here are five teams that I think could potentially draft quinan Mitchell in the 2024 NFL draft the Miami Dolphins I’m thinking about this one a little bit differently if questions arise about Mitchell’s
Speed he could be deployed as a ball Hawking safety and safety is one of the biggest needs for the Dolphins this off season the Detroit Lions Mitchell is a perfect fit in the lion system the Lions defense is in desperate need of a take charge boundary playmaker and Mitchell
Is exactly what they’re looking for the San Francisco 49ers the ners are a team that don’t need a whole lot but they could use a boundary Corner upgrade or another ball Hawking safety Mitchell’s potential versatility would be taken advantage of the Pittsburgh Steelers the thought of Mitchell and Joey Porter Jr
Playing on the the same team was too good not to mention and the Steelers would be set up quite nicely for the future and finally the Arizona Cardinals the cards are one of those teams that need upgrades all over the defense Mitchell would be a welcomed addition as an aggressive playmaker my Pro
Comparison for quinon Mitchell is travarius Ward Ward is is a pass breakup machine and is incredibly physical at the catch point and is always attacking the receiver’s hands he led the NFL this past season with 23 pass breakups Mitchell and Ward have similar frames and playing Styles while I think
Ward is a little bit faster than Mitchell it’s not a huge difference and it makes me much more comfortable leaving Mitchell on the boundary overall quinan Mitchell has the physical Foundation of a high High Lev playmaker and he has the instincts of one too particularly in Offman End Zone
He’s Adept at recognizing routes and breaking early on passes and at the catch point he’s coordinated aggressive and exhaustive with his length Mitchell is an incredible playmaker but he’s not home Runner bust either and I believe Mitchell could be moved all around the secondary at the NFL level and his
Versatility will be coveted I think Quin Mitchell will be drafted between picks 26 and 40 of the 2024 NFL Draft

🔥🔥🔥
👏👏👏👏
Great job
Good work
Some of them boys out of Toledo are no joke and this is definitely one of them. Like a shadow all over you.
Great show
Great show and Great talent!!
Can’t wait for you to do Will Johnson next year
Hmmm missed this guy
🔥🔥
Mitchell runs in the 4.3s, verified by NFL scouts, per the Freaks List
Quinyon Mitchell has good instincts as a CB. Could be a future NFL player.
Awesome! I always enjoy these! Y’all so such a great job!
Late first to the Lions.
Can you do audric estime lowkeh hes nice
Need him in Philly!
Mitchell is one of my favorite cbs from this draft for my lions!! Hes a straight dawg!!
Great job Peter
Interested to see if he can play at the NFL level coming out of the MAC
Hope he gets to the Baltimore ravens
Needs to see what he does at the combine given the opposing talent he’s
faced. If he does amazing, he should go the first round.
🔥🔥🔥
Why didn't he transfer to a bigger school? That's a red flag for me. 4 picks against poor QB play does not make a prospect. That being said, he should be considered in the 3rd round.
You need to be the dolphins scout lol so chris Grier wont f up that damn cam smith couldn't sniff the field
I just don't see what you're seeing here?…Those are average numbers and he has average film. Not to mention he played in an inferior conference. I believe that equals an average player at best.
49ers should draft him 1st round 2024
Most of Mitchell's highlights came against N. Illinois, who was 1-4 when they played them. NIU's QB wasn't having a good day, he was handing pick-sixes to Mitchell. I'd like to see his production against better teams. I'm commenting because I am a Lions fan who saw Mel's first Mock having him going to the Lions.
Mitchell has been timed running 4.4’s/4.3 just an fyi. He was one of the fastest guys at Toledo who have guys who can fly like jaquez Stewart and devin maddox.
Future Lion. Could have used him today.
Should be in Detroit's wheelhouse. They need a physical type who can blitz when needed. Aaron glen has effective secondary blitz packages. The Lions got exploited all year in passing yardage and a huge influx of talent is needed to get their corners fixed.
How could you not name the eagles they had the worst CB play in the league smh you can’t watch football or you just name all the teams u only watch sad ! 👎
