Cooper DeJean Shines for Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13 Matchup

Cooper DeJean, the young cornerback for the Philadelphia Eagles, has been making significant contributions to the team in his rookie season. Drafted in the second round (40th overall) of the 2024 NFL Draft from the University of Iowa, DeJean has quickly become a notable figure in the Eagles’ defense.

In the Week 13 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, DeJean showcased his skills with a notable play. He squared up and tackled Ravens running back Derrick Henry on a third-down pass play, highlighting his ability to make crucial stops.

During the same game, DeJean was involved in an incident where Eagles safety Reed Blankenship suffered a concussion. Blankenship was hit by DeJean while breaking up a pass intended for former Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor. This incident led to Blankenship’s exit from the game.

Despite the challenges, the Eagles, who are currently 9-2, continued to perform well against the 8-4 Ravens. However, they faced some setbacks, including the absence of wide receiver DeVonta Smith, who was ruled out for the game due to injury.

DeJean’s performance this season has been promising, with statistics showing his growing impact on the team’s defense. At just 21 years old, he stands at 6’0″ and weighs 198 lbs, bringing a blend of athleticism and youthful energy to the Eagles’ roster.
