Cooper DeJean was the protagonist of one of the most notable plays in the recent Super Bowl, which helped his Philadelphia Eagles secure the championship. Once the victory was sealed, the talented player made a major revelation about Indiana Fever player Caitlin Clark.
DeJean made a recent appearance on the Up&Adams show with Kate Adams, where he revealed a unique sequence that took place once the game against the Chiefs ended. “She sent me a nice message, congratulating me. That was nice of her being a Chiefs fan and all.”
Both Cooper DeJean and Caitlin Clark have something in common: they both played their college careers with the Iowa Hawkeyes. That’s why, despite the current Indiana Fever player rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs during the Super Bowl, she acknowledged the great work of the Eagles‘ player.
