DeJean intercepted his first pass in the NFL and returned it for a touchdown in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles rookie Cooper DeJean had an unforgettable birthday as he played a pivotal role in his team’s commanding 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX.

The young defensive back delivered one of the game’s defining moments, intercepting Patrick Mahomes and returning it for a touchdown. It was his first NFL interception, and he couldn’t have chosen a bigger stage to make it happen.

“I’ve been dreaming of this since I was a kid, watching this game growing up. Now it’s here, and now I get to wear a big old ring on my finger whenever we get it, hold that trophy – it’s amazing,” DeJean said after the game.

The moment DeJean picked off Mahomes and sprinted toward the end zone, Eagles fans erupted, with chants filling the stadium as he crossed the goal line. The excitement of the moment wasn’t lost on the rookie.

“It’s awesome. To hear that chant, to be able to score a touchdown, is pretty cool,” DeJean said.

“I’m just happy to be here and be a part of this organization. We’ve got a great fanbase, and they support us all the way through the ups and downs. I know they’re back home partying on Broad Street right now.”

While the defensive back was soaking in the victory, he received an unexpected message from a high-profile Chiefs fan-WNBA star Caitlin Clark.

Caitlin Clark’s Message to DeJean

During an interview on the Up & Adams Show, DeJean shared that Clark reached out to congratulate him on the Eagles’ victory, despite her loyalty to Kansas City.

“She sent me a nice message congratulating me, so that was nice of her being a Chiefs fan and all,” DeJean said.

Clark, who made history as one of the most dominant college basketball players before entering the WNBA, may have had her own remarkable year, but DeJean now holds a different kind of honor – a Super Bowl ring.

With both athletes making waves in their respective sports, their connection as Iowa stars remains a unique bond-even if they’re now on opposite sides of the sports rivalry.

VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”

Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts

During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.

The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.

This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.

One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.

He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.

He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.
