The Eagles drafted DeJean with the No. 40 overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft. He signed a four-year, $9,283,618 contract that includes a $3,571,720 signing bonus and will carry a $1,687,930 cap figure for the 2024 season.
Throughout his three-year career at Iowa, DeJean appeared in 30 games for the Hawkeyes and recorded 120 total tackles, including five tackles for loss to go along with 20 passes defended, seven interceptions, and three touchdowns. He also added another touchdown on special teams as a kick returner.
