It has been a good week for Cooper DeJean.
After earning his first Pro Bowl nod on Tuesday, he won NFC Defensive Player of the Week for the first time on Wednesday.
DeJean had one of the best games in his NFL career against the Commanders, nabbing a clutch interception to help the Eagles pull away and defending four passes, the most in the league during Week 16.
It has been a prolific season for DeJean, who rarely leaves the field for Philadelphia. Through 15 games, he has 84 tackles, 16 passes defended, and two interceptions. Now, he can add NFC Defensive Player of the Week and Pro Bowl selection to his resume.
"Just feel for the game," DeJean said about where he has progressed the most this year. "I think understanding what offenses like to do situationally is where I have grown a lot as well. Just understanding difference situations throughout the game. I feel like I've grown a lot and I've got a lot more comfortable in Year 2, having a year under my belt." — Written by Matt Ryan
