Cooper DeJean had an unforgettable 22nd birthday celebration because of his outstanding performance in Super Bowl LIX. The young cornerback, playing for the Philadelphia Eagles, etched his name in the history books by being the first player to score a touchdown in the Super Bowl on his birthday.
DeJean’s moment of glory came when he intercepted a pass from the Kansas City Chiefs’ star quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, and ran it back for a 38-yard touchdown, extending the Eagles’ lead to 17-0.
Not only was this interception DeJean’s first in his NFL career, but it also highlighted his immense impact on the game. His pick-six almost doubled the total offensive yards that the Chiefs had managed up to that point, showcasing his defensive prowess.
