Eagles’ Cooper DeJean Ready for Even Bigger Role
PHILADELPHIA, JUL 24 – The Eagles aim to increase Cooper DeJean's playing time by testing him at safety in their base defense, which accounted for about 12% of defensive snaps last season.
- Eagles defensive back Cooper DeJean is broadening his responsibilities in the 2025 training camp by taking reps at nickel corner, perimeter corner, and safety roles.
- The Eagles plan to keep DeJean on the field in their base defense package, as defensive coordinator Vic Fangio seeks versatile players and first discussed safety reps in June.
- DeJean, nicknamed 'APC' or 'All Pro Coop' by teammate A.J. Brown during spring, embraces the challenge and aims to improve his impact from his breakout rookie season.
- Brown mentioned that he frequently tells him, "I'll make you All-Pro," emphasizing that this goal begins with daily effort throughout camp, while DeJean expressed that it provides a clear goal to aim for and motivates his work.
- The expanded role and positional versatility suggest the Eagles will rely heavily on DeJean to contribute across multiple spots as they defend their Super Bowl title.
