BREAKING NEWS: Cooper DeJean Begs Philadelphia Eagles Fans to Stop Attacking His Personal Page, Vows to Help Lead Eagles to the Super Bowl—If…

Philadelphia Eagles rookie Cooper DeJean has made headlines not for a play on the field, but for an emotional plea off of it. In a heartfelt message posted on his personal social media accounts Wednesday night, the first-round pick asked Eagles fans to stop attacking his personal page, and promised to do everything in his power to help Philadelphia reach the Super Bowl—if he receives their support in return.

The plea comes after weeks of growing frustration from Eagles fans over the team’s slow start and DeJean’s adjustment to life in the NFL. The 22-year-old defensive back, known for his elite instincts and ball skills at Iowa, has struggled with consistency in his first few professional games. That has made him a target for online criticism, which has escalated into something much worse.

“I’m Not a Robot. I’m Human Too.”

In his Instagram statement, DeJean expressed disappointment—not just in his performance, but in the reaction from the fan base he so badly wants to represent with pride.

“I know expectations in Philly are high. I respect that—it’s part of why I was excited to be drafted here,” DeJean wrote. “But some of what’s been said to me and about me… it goes way beyond football. I’m not a robot. I’m human too.”

DeJean explained that his direct messages had been flooded with hate mail, and his public posts were filled with harsh comments attacking not just his game, but his character. Some even targeted his family.

“You can call out my performance—that’s fair. But coming at me personally, wishing injuries on me, or attacking my family? That’s not what being a fan is about.”

A Bold Promise to Eagles Nation

Despite the emotional strain, DeJean used his message not just to plead for kindness, but to promise determination. In the same post, he made a powerful vow: to do whatever it takes to help lead the Eagles to a Super Bowl—but only if fans are willing to unite behind him.

“I’m not here to fold. I’m here to fight—for this team, for this city. But I can’t do it alone. If y’all have my back, I swear I’ll give you everything I’ve got to help us bring that Super Bowl trophy home to Philly.”

The message immediately went viral, with fans and players alike sharing the hashtag #FlyWithDeJean in solidarity.

Teammates and Coaches Speak Out

Inside the locker room, DeJean’s post resonated deeply. Veteran cornerback Darius Slay voiced his support publicly:

“Coop’s got the heart and talent to be one of the best. All rookies make mistakes. But he shows up, he learns, and he wants to be great. That’s all you can ask.”

Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio also chimed in, saying DeJean’s growth has been encouraging and his mindset is “exactly what we need in Philly.”

Head coach Nick Sirianni praised the rookie’s professionalism and mental toughness:

“He’s facing a ton of pressure, and he’s handling it with maturity beyond his years. Philly’s a tough city, but it’s also a loyal one. I believe our fans will rally around him.”

Eagles Fans: Divided But Reflective

While some fans doubled down on their criticism, many others took DeJean’s message to heart. X (formerly Twitter) was filled with messages of encouragement, including:

• “We ride with you, Coop. Stay strong. You’re one of us now.”

• “Philly’s tough, but we also love our fighters. Earn it, and we got you forever.”

• “No one should deal with threats over football. Do better, people.”

Looking Ahead: Redemption on the Horizon?

The Eagles currently sit at 2–3 after five weeks—far from panic mode, but well below the standard set by recent seasons. With key games ahead and a young secondary trying to find its identity, DeJean’s resilience could be crucial.

NFL analysts have noted that rookie defensive backs often experience a learning curve, and patience is key. Many still believe DeJean has All-Pro potential.

If this moment proves to be a turning point—both for DeJean and the Eagles—it may become one of the defining moments of the 2025 season.

Final Words from DeJean: “Let’s Win Together”

DeJean closed his post with a simple but powerful message:

“I came to Philly to win. That’s all I care about. I’m not perfect, but I’ll never stop fighting. Let’s win together.”
