Eagles' Cooper DeJean hints at potential to play a different sport

Cooper DeJean had an absolutely incredible rookie season for the Eagles.

Philadelphia fans are looking forward to years of stardom ahead for the dynamic defensive back.

In a new video unveiled by the Eagles on social media on Friday, though, it looks like the Eagles may have to hold off the 76ers.

DeJean has no plans to leave for the NBA, but man that's some crazy dunking ability for a guy who's 6-feet tall.

He did hoop in high school, ending with 1,832 career points. 

DeJean went on to star in college football at Iowa before the Eagles took him 40th overall in the 2024 draft.

His selection was an absolute steal.

DeJean had an interception return for a 38-yard touchdown in the Eagles' Super Bowl triumph on his 22nd birthday.

It's only going to get better for DeJean, who will likely keep his dunking ability as a side gig and hopes to be able to actually do something on the field soon.
