Once again, the Philadelphia Eagles have an early riser from a later pick for the secondary. A few years ago, we witnessed the emergence of Jalen Mills. Despite being a seventh-round selection in 2016, Mills established himself as one of the more reliable cornerbacks on the Eagles at that time, which made him a starter for the next two seasons.
Last year, we saw some flashes from rookie cornerback, Avonte Maddox. Although he wasn’t selected as late as Mills, the fourth-rounder still showed some immediate progress when thrown into the fire last year.
