Quinyon Mitchell favorite to win NFL defensive rookie of the year

Philadelphia Eagles rookie cornerback Quinyon Mitchell is now the odds on favorite to win NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Mitchell is +110 to win the award, while Rams LB Jared Verse is +150 before a steep drop off to Tarheeb Still of the Chargers on FanDuel Sportsbook.

Mitchell, 23, was the Eagles' 22nd overall pick in the NFL Draft out of Toledo and has dazzled through his first 14 NFL games.

While Mitchell has not recorded an interception, he's basically locked down every wide receiver he has faced this season. He has 10 passes defended and teams are beginning to avoid him.

Mitchell is the only NFL cornerback to not allow a touchdown this season and has held opposing wide receivers to 30 yards or less in nine straight games.
