Drafted: Round 2, No. 40 overall
The Eagles could use DeJean as a nickel or outside corner, but his best chance to shine as a rookie would likely be at safety, where we’d see his anticipation and run support on full display. As a cornerback at Iowa, DeJean grabbed seven interceptions over the last two seasons, returning three for scores. He might encounter some struggles in coverage early on, which would hurt his DROY chances, but when a play is there to be made, he usually makes it. The first matter of business for him will be coming back from a hamstring injury that landed him on the non-football-injury list to open camp.
