Overview
- Vic Fangio said DeJean will take safety reps in the team's base defense during training camp.
- Fangio added that some days DeJean will line up at corner in the base package and his role will evolve with other position battles.
- The cross-training follows Philadelphia's trade of C.J. Gardner-Johnson and rookie Mac McWilliams’s strong performance at slot corner.
- With the Eagles deploying their base defense on roughly 12% of snaps last season, integrating DeJean into that package aims to maximize his playing time.
- Wide receiver A.J. Brown has dubbed him “All-Pro Coop,” setting high expectations for DeJean’s sophomore campaign.
