STACKED’s take
Tenth-ranked rookie CB with All-Pro season; elite slot coverage and positional versatility.
DeJean ranks tenth in ESPN's 2026 cornerback rankings at age 23, making his debut on the list after a first-team All-Pro season. He appeared in 50% of the top 10 submissions despite positional flexibility questions—the Eagles plan to deploy him as a safety in base coverage and slot corner in subpackages. He led all slot cornerbacks in catch rate allowed (61.4%), passer rating allowed (55.4), and yards allowed per coverage snap (0.72), and has not allowed a passing touchdown as a slot cornerback over two seasons. A veteran NFC coach praised his versatility: 'He holds his own at any position, on the inside or outside. He's a corner because of the way he plays. [The Eagles] play a lot of man, and he ain't shying away from nothing. He has the range and speed to play outside all day, too. He's a Swiss Army knife.' DeJean is the first Eagles cornerback to make first-team All-Pro since Lito Sheppard in 2004.
