Ronald Darby, cornerback

More from Inside the Iggles

This just in. Philly can’t get Ronald Darby out of town fast enough.

There’s no excuse for the ‘best’ corner on your team being the guy that everyone wants to key in on. Don’t let the last two weeks fool you. The wind helped him versus the Buffalo Bills. An inept quarterback helped him in Week 9 versus the Bears.

He’s a liability on defense. Grade: D

Jalen Mills, cornerback

Is anyone else sick of watching Jalen Mills wag his finger after an incomplete pass that his coverage skills had nothing to do with?

He’s one of the best that Philly has in the secondary, but that doesn’t mean much. He’s probably gone in the offseason. That’s why Philly hasn’t extended him yet. Grade: C-
