STM Take
Super Bowl LIX Pick-6 plus tier 8 (#75) rookie to tier 2 (#9) sophomore is a 66-spot one-year jump that puts DeJean in the rarest outlier-positive class at the CB position. The Iowa Big Ten 2024 SB ring plus the Eagles' position-specific coaching appears to be the catalyst. The 2026 question is whether DeJean earns his first Pro Bowl plus holds tier 2 territory or whether the 2025 finish was a one-year context spike.
DeJean came out of Iowa as the Philadelphia Eagles' 2nd-round pick (40th overall) in 2024 after earning 2023 First-Team All-Big-Ten honors. He won Super Bowl LIX with the Eagles in 2024 and intercepted a pivotal Patrick Mahomes pass in the championship game. His STTM career runs tier 8 (#75) rookie to tier 2 (#9) breakout in 2025, a 66-spot one-year jump.
Strengths
- Super Bowl LIX championship-game Pick-6 plus the 66-spot year-over-year STTM jump from tier 8 (#75) rookie to tier 2 (#9) sophomore puts him in the rarest outlier-positive class.
- Iowa Big Ten 2023 First-Team All-Big-Ten honors plus the 40th overall draft slot establishes real college foundation.
Concerns
- Single tier 2 finish without prior top-30 STTM history puts the 2025 production on a small sample with downside risk.
- Philadelphia's broader defensive identity around the Super Bowl LIX championship roster transition compresses the structural support.
What to watch: Whether DeJean earns his first Pro Bowl in 2026 plus holds tier 2 or better, the threshold for confirming the 2025 breakout was structural.
