\n DB Cooper DeJean<\/p>\n
DeJean helped transform the Eagles’ defense last season, and he has only gotten better in Year 2.<\/p>\n
He finished the regular season leading all NFL slot CBs in PFF coverage grade (79.3), catch rate allowed (61.4%), passer rating allowed (55.4), and yards allowed per coverage snap (0.72) (min. 350 coverage snaps as a slot CB; min. 50 targets). He still has never allowed a passing touchdown as a slot cornerback.<\/p>\n
“Obviously, it’s a credit to the people around me and the players that we have,” he said. “When you’re on a good team and you’re winning a lot, things like that come with it. So, I get to be on a great defense, great team. It’s a cool accomplishment.<\/p>\n
“It’s cool to get that recognition alongside Q (Quinyon Mitchell), obviously. What he’s done this year and our defense as a whole, just the way we play. Cause if our defense wasn’t good, I don’t think we’d be getting voted for that.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DB Cooper DeJean DeJean helped transform the Eagles’ defense last season, and he has only gotten better in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":83305,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[1792,10981,2196,69,71,70,14928,2197],"class_list":["post-83304","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-all-news-archived","tag-cooper-dejean","tag-nfl-com-feature","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news","tag-quinyon-mitchell","tag-team-roster-content"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83304","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=83304"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83304\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83305"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83304"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83304"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83304"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
