When the Eagles hosted puppy yoga at the NovaCare Complex in late September for those affected by cancer, all the attention was on the 10-plus dogs in attendance.<\/p>\n
Then, Cooper DeJean walked in.<\/p>\n
Within minutes, there was a line of fans waiting to get a picture, autograph, anything, from the Eagles’ second-year defensive back. It took DeJean about 15 minutes to even say hello to one of the dogs.<\/p>\n
This is the new reality for DeJean, who has quickly turned into one of the most popular Eagles around.<\/p>\n
Before the start of the 2024 season, Eagles Entertainment interviewed the rookies and asked how many Instagram followers they each have. DeJean had 180,000 before the season.<\/p>\n
He now has more than 1.1 million.<\/p>\n
His infamous pick-six off Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl is an iconic Philadelphia sports moment. Since then, DeJean’s fame has skyrocketed. Quickly.<\/p>\n
“It’s been crazy. The last year, a lot of things have changed fast,” DeJean said. “It’s been taking some getting used to, obviously, but it’s been fun. I’ve got to do a lot of cool things, experience a lot of things. But [I’m] still the same guy, still the same person. Nothing’s really changed about myself, I’m still me. But a lot of stuff around me has changed.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When the Eagles hosted puppy yoga at the NovaCare Complex in late September for those affected by cancer,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14473,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[8351,1792,10981,8352,2196,69,71,70,2197],"class_list":["post-14472","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-2025-week-8-giants","tag-all-news-archived","tag-cooper-dejean","tag-new-york-giants-at-philadelphia-eagles-2025-reg-8","tag-nfl-com-feature","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news","tag-team-roster-content"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14472","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14472"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14472\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14473"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14472"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14472"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14472"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
