The AP All-Pro list has finally come out for the first team, and the Philadelphia Eagles' two young stars in the secondary are being spotlighted on it.
Eagles cornerbacks Cooper DeJean and Quinyon Mitchell were named to the AP All-Pro team. DeJean and Mitchell were also named to the Pro Bowl just last month.
This would be the first time for both players to make the All-Pro team, after their standout rookie seasons in 2024 were followed by even better performances in 2025.

It really shouldn't come as too much of a surprise, as the Eagles' defense all season has been defined by DeJean and Mitchell playing so well in the secondary. They have helped lead the Eagles to one of the top five pass defenses in the NFL, despite concerns at the CB2 position for most of the year.
DeJean finished the year with 93 tackles, 16 pass deflections, four tackles for loss, two interceptions, one forced fumble, and one quarterback hit in 16 games. He allowed a completion percentage of 60.5% and a passer rating of 76.5, both numbers were lower than they were in his rookie season.
Mitchell put up even better stats as he finished with 45 tackles, 17 pass deflections, and one fumble recovery in 16 games. While those aren't the sexiest numbers, he allowed a completion percentage of 44.3% and a passer rating of 64.3, also both being significantly lower than in 2024.
There has been no question all season that Mitchell has been the best outside corner in the NFL, and DeJean has been the best slot corner in the league. That has been crystal clear from the beginning of the season.

No one has been able to touch them at those positions, and in just their second season in the NFL are only going to get better, which is the scariest thought for all the other 31 NFL teams.
