Philadelphia – The Philadelphia Eagles have hit gold in their rookie classes in the last two years, however, 2024’s rookie class was essential towards his Super Bowl career. His two best selections were headlines in the main defense of the League, while his next two selections were key taxpayers in the playoffs.
The general manager Howie Roseman arrived in Big in the 2024 rookie class, starting with Quinyon Mitchell (First Ronda) and Cooper Dejean (Second Round). Jalyx Hunt (Third Ronda) and Will Shipley (Fourth Round) improved as the Seaosn advanced, becoming key components in January.
“The newbies listened to the veterinarians,” said Hunt. “No one entered with a fat head or anything like that. We were all very humble and willing to learn, so I think everyone had a hand on how we act.”
Mitchell and Dejean were instant taxpayers for the Eagles, helping to convert their secondary from the defense of the passing pass classified to the first defense of passing in just one year. The opposite field marshals aimed at Mitchell completed only 51.9% of their passes and had a 66.5 pin qualification when Mitchell was the main defender, since it allowed two touchdowns. In the postseason, Mitchell had two interceptions and allowed a 22.6 pin qualification in coverage.

Leaen did not allow a touchdown throughout the season (regular season and playoffs), with her first professional interception of Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl Lix, and was returned for a touchdown. Leaan scored more touchdowns (1) than allowed (0) in his rookie season.
Hunt became a crucial passes corridor in the rotation in this postseason, totaling nine pressures, 1.5 captures, three caterback hits and nine cups with a pressure rate of 14.5%. Shipley had four haunts for 77 yards and a touchdown in the postseason, while the fifth selection Jeremiah Trotter Jr. had a loose ball recovery at the beginning of the inauguration in the victory of the Commodines Round over the Green Bay Packers .

Five of the six best Eagles draft teams were vital for the Super Bowl championship. The defense of the Eagles turned during the night due to defensive rookies and their development.
Hunt knew that this class was something special, even if success was not immediate.
“We all feel that we could contribute to the team and wanted to contribute to the team in any way we could,” said Hunt. “So, if that would be a practice squad or a less significant, it did not mean that we did not put a cap and did not put a limit, so we were excited to be here and we wanted to act.”
