Despite a season-ending injury, DeJean's impressive performance positions him as a potential first-round pick.

Cooper DeJean, All-American defensive back for the Iowa Hawkeyes, has declared for the 2024 NFL Draft.
Despite suffering a broken leg in November, DeJean is considered a potential first-round pick.
In 2023, DeJean played in 10 games, recording two interceptions, five pass breakups, and 41 tackles.
DeJean also excelled as a punt returner, notably returning a punt 70 yards for a touchdown in a game against Michigan State.
