There is no question that the Philadelphia Eagles are flying high after their Super Bowl LIX win, but one particular player has been getting a lot of respect after his performance in the game and that man is Coope DeJean.
However, there is another sports star that came out of Iowa that has been living up to expectations. Caitlin Clark, a fellow Hawkeye herself, reached out to Cooper to congratulate him for his NFL championship victory as they both showed mutual respect.

With that, DeJean said that he and the Indiana Fever player can take on anyone on a 2-on-2 game between any WNBA and NFL duo. It seems that his confidence has shown even if it means facing a fellow college colleague and from another sport.
The bold statement he made
During an appearance on the CBS Sports with Chris Hassel, the host asked who could play against him and Clark and he did not hesitate to answer. “We’ll take on anybody. Anybody you throw at us and I don’t think it’ll be close. I think me on her on the same team, it’d be an almost unstoppable duo,” he said.
Hassel insisted on whether he could take on players like Minnesota Vikings wide receiver, Justin Jefferson and Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese and Cooper said “I’m taking us over anybody! No matter who you say,” as his confidence is sky high after the Super Bowl win.
To end the topic, again Hassel asked “OK, how about this? (Cleveland Browns defensive end) Myles Garrett and (Las Vegas Aces center) A’Ja Wilson?” The NFL player replied “Yeah, that would be tough. I like us, no matter what. Those are two pretty big people, it’d be tough for us being guards and all.” DeJean played basketball, baseball and ran track in addition to playing football while in high school so he has more reasons to feel good about his and Caitlin Clark’s chances.
