Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate and recognize Quinyon Mitchell, a cornerback from the University of Toledo. Quinyon was recently selected by the Philadelphia Eagles with the 22nd overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft.

Northwest Ohio is undeniably proud of Mr. Mitchell. He became the first Toledo Rocket selected in the first round in 31 years.

Mr. Mitchell was the first defensive back taken in this year's draft, and he also became the first UT player ever named as a semifinalist for the Chuck Bednarik Award given annually to the Nation's top defensive player.

His selection in the draft now marks three straight years that a Toledo player has been selected by an NFL franchise. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Quinyon Mitchell for his remarkable achievements.

He truly embodies the spirit of excellence that the University of Toledo and northwest Ohio strive to achieve.

We all know Quinyon will continue to make us proud as he shines on the national stage. Go Rockets, go Quinyon, go Birds.
