With the #Eagles up 25 in the fourth quarter, Kenny Pickett has now replaced Jalen Hurts. It appears his day is done with victory in hand.

RT: He won't win Defensive Rookie of the Year because it's a counting stats award, but the best rookie defender in football is Quinyon Mitchell

What's interesting about Saquon Barkley is that he is the only the 6th highest paid player on the Eagles' offense. Hurts, Johnson, Brown, Mailata, Smith....Barkley.

Philadelphia saw how last season ended and decided to break from the usual script this past April, drafting Quinyon Mitchell in the first round and Cooper DeJean in the second round, solidifying their secondary for years to come.

The Eagles started the season out 2-2. Still, the lights went on defensively when Cooper DeJean entered the starting lineup following a training camp and preseason that saw the rookie out of Iowa miss time with a soft tissue injury.
