Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and celebrate the achievements of Quinyon Mitchell, a proud University of Toledo Rocket and now a Super Bowl champion with the Philadelphia Eagles. Mr. Speaker, last year I stood before you and said that Quinyon Mitchell would make northwest Ohio proud on the national stage, and he has done exactly that, helping lead the Eagles to victory in Super Bowl LIX. His dedication, discipline, and talent have set him apart, earning him respect across the league as a key player of one of the NFL's top defenses. Mr. Mitchell is not the only Rocket making waves on football's biggest stage. I want to extend special recognition to fellow Eagle, Dallas Gant. He also won the Super Bowl alongside Quinyon. Their journeys from Toledo to the grandest stage in football are a living testament to the strength of our athletic programs and the hardworking spirit of the people of northwest Ohio's communities. Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles on their championship. To Quinyon and Dallas: You make us proud and all of northwest Ohio proud. Go Rockets. ____________________
