Jalen Mills was an afterthought in the 2016 draft. A cornerback taken with the 233rd pick is typically lucky to make a roster, let alone do anything from there. But Green Goblin is not your typical cornerback. Mills made the roster as a rookie and grabbed a starting role in 2017. It turned out to be quite a year for him and the Eagles.

Mills intercepted three passes for the Eagles, returning one of them for a touchdown. He also started all three Philadelphia playoff games, recording 13 tackles and 5 passes defended, helping the Eagles win their first Super Bowl ever. Mills suffered a foot injury halfway through the 2018 season and was placed on injured reserve, but he remains a key part of the Eagle’s future.
