Who is Cooper DeJean No. 33? This is the Eagles’ rookie cornerback
The cornerback took the headlines with a stellar first half against the Chiefs.
The first half of the Super Bowl LIX was an historic occasion, but not in the way anyone expected. The Kansas City Chiefs were almost blasted into orbit against a rampant Philadelphia Eagles side that simply dissected them time after time, embarrassing Patrick Mahomes and co. in what will go down as one of the greatest performances ever.
The name Cooper DeJean stuck out in the list of superb first halves from the Eagles, who went into watching Kendrick Lamar at 0-24 on the scoreboard not hearing boos but “Cooooooppp!” from the crowd.
