FILE - Iowa defensive back Cooper Dejean speaks during a news conference at the NFL football scouting combine, Thursday, Feb. 29, 2024, in Indianapolis. The unprecedented run on quarterbacks, wide receivers and pass protectors in the NFL draft's opening round pushed plenty of standout defenders down the board and allowed some of the top teams to select players who normally wouldn't fall to them. DeJean is one of the best ballhawks in this class and also one of the best punt returners available, having averaged 13.1 yards per return over the last two seasons. (AP Photo/Darron Cummings, File)
