DeJean will play in his 27th career NFL game on Sunday, and he&#8217;s faced some talented wide receivers.<\/p>\n<p>Asked who his toughest cover was since entering the league, DeJean highlighted two former LSU teammates and perennial All-Pros.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"content-blockquote\">\n<div class=\"blockquote\">Outside of our guys in practice, I&#8217;d say, I&#8217;d say probably Jamar Chase, Justin Jefferson, those guys, two really talented receivers. Probably the toughest guys that I&#8217;ve had to line up against thus far.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>DeJean was asked to elaborate on why he came to that conclusion.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"content-blockquote\">\n<div class=\"blockquote\">\n<p>Both really talented know how to get open. Have a good feel for the game. They&#8217;re good after the catch too, so I&#8217;d probably say those two guys.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In the win over Minnesota, Philadelphia held Justin Jefferson to five catches for 79 yards. Last season, the Eagles allowed nine catches, 54 yards, and a touchdown to Ja&#8217;Marr Chase. The Eagles won both games.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>This season alone, DeJean has faced Jefferson, CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, Emeka Egbuka, Courtland Sutton, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, and the Packers foursome of pass catchers. It&#8217;s high praise from DeJean and gives some indication of just how talented those two players are.<\/p>\n<p>You can hear DeJean&#8217;s assessment of the two pass catchers below.<\/p>\n<p><em>This article originally appeared on Eagles Wire: <a href=\"https:\/\/theeagleswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/eagles\/2025\/11\/20\/cooper-dejean-toughest-battle-jamarr-chase-justin-jefferson\/87372570007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Cooper DeJean names the player who is most difficult WR to cover;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Cooper DeJean names the player who is most difficult WR to cover<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/article\/cooper-dejean-names-hardest-receivers-175644683.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cooper DeJean is one of the NFL&#8217;s top players and is now an avid dog lover.
