Philadelphia Eagles React to Cooper DeJean's NFL Top 100 Ranking
Cooper DeJean is one of the league's top young defensive backs — and his fellow NFL colleagues recognize that.
Cooper DeJean, a talented young defensive back, has been recognized by his NFL peers as the No. 38 player on the 2025 NFL Top 100 list, according to a recent announcement. DeJean, a second-round draft pick for the Eagles in 2024, demonstrated his skill set with 93 tackles, 16 passes defended, and two interceptions in the 2025 season, earning him Pro-Bowl and First Team All-Pro honors.
The 23-year-old was instrumental in the Eagles' Super Bowl victory in his debut season, intercepting a pass from Patrick Mahomes during a crucial play on his 22nd birthday. The Eagles took to social media to express their pride in DeJean's achievement, noting his significant rise of 22 spots from last year's ranking. DeJean is the fourth Eagles player to make the 2025 list thus far, following Jalen Hurts, Quinyon Mitchell, and Zack Baun.
The Eagles are set to begin their 2026 NFL season with a Week 1 game against division rival Washington Commanders on September 13.
