[Eagles Nation] Cooper DeJean says he has no preference between playing CB, Slot, or Safety: “I have no preference. I can do all 3. You put me on the field, I’m going to go play football. I’m a football player.. As long as I’m on that field, I’m gonna be happy, and giving it my all every play.”

  4. He adds quality depth at three positions. That’s incredible value especially since he should start by year two (if not his rookie year).

    Right now he’s behind Slay and (imo) Quinyon at CB, Maddox at Nickel, and CJGJ and Reed Blankenship at safety. But we know no team stays completely healthy throughout the year.

    DB is actually a deep, young position for us all of a sudden.

  9. Coach’s son, type of kid you’d want to date your daughter. First one in, last one out type of guy.

  13. Real scrappy gym rat, with that blue collar, bring your lunch pail to work mindset kinda guy

  14. What more could you ask for? Willing to play any damn position he don’t give a fuck. QB put him in, RB put him in, longsnapper put him in. I love his attitude and confidence.

  15. I like this guy, he gives us depth and versatility, and he’s gonna be good on special teams.

  18. The funnier thing was that he said Sirianni was too afraid to play him in basketball on his visit lol

  20. Totally agree, but Howie doesn’t get enough credit for his vision drafting Hurts. That draft didn’t feel like a good one, but that was massively bold and visionary and he’s been on fire ever since

  21. Real hard worker knows the playbook, blue collar guy. He doesn’t seem cornbacky enough for me.

  24. It’s basically like having two first round picks. Finally some good drafting

  25. Within the Fangio system, he will allow us to disguise a lot of coverage presnap because of his flexibility playing outside, inside, or deep.

  34. I went to Iowa for law school in the early 2000s, and fell in love with college football. Still follow the Hawks here in South jersey. I’ll tell you: this guy is legit. Top end of a good defense of an otherwise shitty team.

  36. One of our weaknesses suddenly one of our strengths with going CB back to back and getting Isaiah Rodgers off suspension.

  39. I really hope Mitchel and Cooper are starting week one.

    Even if you think there are players that are better week 1, give these guys time to develop bc they will be better at the end of the season. Look at what the Chiefs did in 2022.

    My starting lineup would be:
    Cb1: Slay
    Cb2: Mitchell
    Slot: Maddox/Rodgers
    S1: CJGJ
    S2: Cooper

    Ringo gets another year developing as a backup.
    Blankship should be a career backup.
    When Brown comes back he can play Big Nickel

  41. Cooper DeJean and Zech McPhearson is actually a wild gunner pair. We should have the best punt coverage in the league next year.

  42. If this is really his attitude, he’ll do just fine in Philly. Welcome and Go Birds!

  43. im all for giving fangio toys feels good to be excited about the D instead of despair every week lol

  44. I think they use him how the used Malcolm Jenkins all those years. All over the back seven just entirely matchup based
