Cornerback Cooper DeJean had a difficult pre-draft season due to a fractured fibula he suffered during the 2023 campaign. As a result, he had to delay his Pro Day workout until after other players were already visiting teams and attending medical rechecks in Indianapolis. Despite this setback, DeJean managed to meet with four teams during his limited availability. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, DeJean visited the Steelers, Seahawks, Bills, and Eagles.
During his Pro Day workout, DeJean ran an impressive 4.42 40 and performed well in other athletic tests. This performance helped alleviate concerns about his health going into the draft. While there may be some uncertainty about where he will play on the field, teams in need of secondary help are likely to focus on DeJean’s potential and not worry too much about his exact position.
Despite facing challenges in his pre-draft preparations, DeJean’s athleticism and skills have positioned him as a promising prospect for teams in search of defensive talent. His impressive 40 time and strong performance in other tests have shown that he has the ability to excel on the field and make a significant impact for any team lucky enough to draft him.
