Cooper DeJean injured?

All you have to do to know he's going to blow up at the combine is watch his high school basketball highlights. Kid is a freak athlete that somebody is going to fall in love with him at the underwear olympics and take him above where he probably should go.
"I got my Iowa fair catch t shirt on the installment plan. Only 20 more payments over the next 10 years and that baby is all mine."
Not really. One or two posters may have chirped in but for the most part it condolences have been sent.
I hate it when he destroys us but it's hard to not love everything about DeJean's game. His defensive prowess and special teams play have literally won Iowa several games (along with Taylor). The dude is an athlete, smart and a gamer. I love watching him play (when it's not against us).
Hope he makes a full recovery.

DeJean is one of the most special players I have ever seen play at Iowa. At 32 years old I remember Bob Sanders, Shonn Greene, Sash.
DeJean is the best I've ever seen.

Outside of one whack job poster who think nuclear warfare makes for good smack talk (and has been admonished by everyone for it) and a few crude jokes about running styles, I think it's been overwhelmingly respectful here. Cooper was a delight to watch, regardless of his jersey color, and I hate that this happened to him.
Right? It like 2 posters being dbags, the rest being civil. You have a comprehension issue if you think this is a bad thread.
Sanders was a top NFL guy for like a decade. I don't see CDJ having that level of sustained success.
He will be a first rounder. All projections have him as a first rounder. The thing about him is that he has elite athletic skills and he is still learning to play corner so there is continued upside. I don't really know what position he will end up as but he has the profile of a first rounder. If he wasn't white, people wouldn't be doubting him as a first rounder.
This is dumb.
For a rival fanbase, on a message board of all places (where we know all rational thinkers reside), a vast majority of people have shown respect for DeJean, myself included. There are a couple of people that take the rivalry maybe a little too seriously, or at least their online personas do.
Cooper is obviously very talented, and he's a small-town Iowa kid that has done nothing but represent himself and his school with integrity. Iowans generally like to see other Iowans succeed on the big stage, and you're getting that sentiment here more often than not.
Maybe true, but we don't know what Coopers career will be like.
Also, you can't deny that CDJ pretty much single handedly carried the Hawkeyes.
