JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The talk of Cooper 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.
DeJean has started at strong safety and cornerback.
He’s an explosive athlete hitting markers in height, weight and speed. DeJean is an instinctive zone defender ready to feast on quarterbacks with poor eye discipline.
He tracks the pass and plays the entry point with big burst to close. DeJean can provide immediate help as a punt returner and gunner if called upon.
