Veteran Avonte Maddox is serving as Quinyon Mitchell's sounding board.
PHILADELPHIA - The idea of Quinyon Mitchell in the slot was not in the Eagles organization's mind when the team took the Toledo product at No. 22 overall in April’s draft.
A pre-training camp hamstring injury has set No. 40 overall pick Cooper DeJean, a candidate to take Day 1 slot snaps, back a few weeks and Fangio seems to be mulling the undersized Isaiah Rodgers opposite Darius Slay at outside cornerback with Mitchell handling the inside work. Maddox has had significant injury issues over the past two seasons but has excelled in the slot when healthy and the veteran has served as a sounding board for Mitchell.
