Cooper DeJean is usually called a cornerback, but on the Eagles' roster he's just listed as a defensive back, and Philadelphia defensive coordinator Vic Fangio says DeJean could easily find himself getting more snaps at safety this season.

In a recent article by PFF's John Kosko, he ranks who he believes are the top 32 cornerbacks in the entire NFL. Just missing the top 10 at No. 11, they have the Eagles sophomore defensive back Cooper DeJean.

The Eagles want to keep DeJean on the field at all times, and safety could be a way for them to accomplish that. Based on how the cornerback situation plays out on the outside between Kelee Ringo and Adoree' Jackson, Fangio could move DeJean to safety in base defense to pair with Blankenship.
