Darius Slay admits he was a Cooper DeJean fan long before Eagles drafted him

Now the two are teammates and there's a real chance they could line up together as a dangerous duo in the secondary come Week 1. 

DeJean Making NFL Transition Look Like Piece of Cake 

The Eagles don't necessarily have a plan for how they're going to use DeJean in their secondary just yet, but that's because he's been playing everywhere, and doing it really well. 

Through OTAs and mandatory minicamps, the Eagles tested DeJean at cornerback, in the slot, and at safety, and according to multiple reports, the rookie looked solid at each position he lined up at. 

Since he can handle it, the Eagles said they're going to continue to add more to his plate rather than give him just one job. 

"I think Coop is very versatile," Eagles defensive backs coach Christian Parker told reporters during minicamp. "I think he plays with good vision to the ball. I think that he has good ball skills. I think we’re kind of in that process now we've moved him around a little bit. He can handle it mentally and I think as we move on through this phase right now and going into training camp then he'll have a home but he's been he's playing corner, he's playing nickel, you know, he's handling those things well and we'll continue to put more on his plate and see how he can handle it.”

The Eagles currently have 19 defensive backs competing for a roster spot and only about half of them will have a job come September.

DeJeans versatility and smooth transition that he's made to the next level so far should help him earn one of those spots.
