DeJean does everything except maybe man coverage at an elite level and is top-three in tackling among defensive backs; he excels in zone coverage, taking away passing lanes and forcing quarterbacks to hold the ball; he's mastered multiple positions in Vic Fangio's complex system and moved to outside corner in base last season, with reports of him playing safety in base during OTAs.
