2016 starting Eagles’ cornerbacks Nolan Carroll and Leodis McKelvin departed this offseason, leaving sophomore Jalen Mills (663 snaps as a rookie) atop the depth chart.
As a rookie seventh-round pick in 2016, the former LSU Tiger predictably struggled. He was PFF’s lowest-graded cornerback last season (34.5 overall) while allowing a catch for every 7.1 coverage snaps (ranking 112th out of 117 qualifiers).
Despite his rookie bumps, Philadelphia’s coaching staff have admired the resilience of their seventh-round corner.
