Cooper DeJean Draft Profile:
- The 'Good' from Chat Sports' Tom Downey (@whatgoingdowney on Twitter):
Versatile, strong football IQ, excels in zone coverage.
- via The Athletic's Dane Brugler:
DeJean is one of the best tackling defensive backs in the class and shows playmaking skills in coverage... Along with an immediate special-teams role... his NFL starter-quality skill set fits interchangeably at cornerback, safety or nickel.
GRADE: 1st-2nd Round (No. 25 overall)
- via PFF:
The talk of DeJean playing outside cornerback, or safety, or slot cornerback at the next level is not due to lack of a home position; it's because he could truly be an impact player anywhere. His footwork, ball skills, and explosive athleticism make him an impactful outside cornerback — one with All-Pro potential.
- Downey's 'Bad':
Needs to work on coverage technique; Can struggle with quick change of direction; Limited impact in press coverage.
