Eagles Fans Troll LeBron James as Cooper DeJean Scores a Super Bowl TD

For Eagles rookie cornerback Cooper DeJean, the storyline could not have been more perfected by the football gods. The Iowa alum has performed admirably on his birthday, in his debut NFL season, and on the grandest platform.

DeJean stole the show by intercepting the two-time MVP for his first interception of the season and carrying it to the house for a pick-six, but Philly’s secondary held Mahomes in check the entire night. His name will always be remembered because of this occasion, which he will never forget.

Eagles Fans react to Cooper DeJean’s TD and troll LeBron James

After DeJean became the first athlete in history to score a touchdown in the Super Bowl on his birthday, LeBron James was immediately targeted by Eagles supporters.

Many people think that Cooper was inspired to perform on the biggest platform by King James’ rebuff, which will guarantee that LeBron will remember his name for a very long time.

Fans rejoiced, wishing DeJean a happy birthday and congratulating him on the pick-six. They particularly admired the fact that he pursued it all the way to the house rather than merely settling for an interception.

Pretty normal to see Coop scoring if you’re an Iowa fan.

He wasn’t settling for an interception. He wanted the TD. LOVE it.

Iowa supporters, however, were not shocked by Cooper’s selection because they have witnessed his several other performances. Others contributed memes, praising DeJean as a unique sight in the contemporary NFL—a white cornerback producing top-tier plays.

HEY, LEBRON, THAT GUY WHO JUST PICK SIXED MAHOMES … HIS NAME IS COOPER DEJEAN. MAYBE HE DOESN’T LOOK LIKE HE CAN PLAY CORNERBACK IN THE NFL, BUT HE’S ON HIS WAY TO BEING A STAR OF A STUD! 17-0 FLY, EAGLES, FLY.

Following that selection, Skip Bayless even resorted to social media to criticize LeBron and implore him to keep DeJean’s name in mind.
