Cooper DeJean was called a "tremendous player" by a former NFL legend

After making his way back from a broken leg in November 2023, Cooper DeJean is showcasing why so many scouts were extremely high on him.

DeJean missed a handful of games to start his NFL career in 2024 after the Eagles took him with the No. 40 overall pick in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

DeJean's impact was felt immediately as the Philadelphia defense went from middle of the pack to one of the best units in the NFL.

Not only did DeJean solidify the outside for the Eagles, but he also helped seal their Super Bowl LVIII victory, intercepting a Patrick Mahomes pass and taking it to the house.
