Cooper DeJean

Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio indicated CB Cooper DeJean will also get opportunities at safety.

DeJean primarily played nickelback as a rookie last season, tallying six passes defended and three fumble recoveries. At Eagles OTAs, Fangio said DeJean will be in the mix at safety for certain personnel groups. The Eagles defensive coordinator said, “it will be determined by what’s best for him and what’s best for the team... he’s capable of playing corner and he’s capable of playing safety.” DeJean has versatility in the secondary and may be utilized at multiple positions depending on the defensive coverage Fangio wants to run.
