DES MOINES, Iowa — Super Bowl champion and former Iowa Hawkeye, Cooper DeJean, has added another visit back to central Iowa to his busy schedule.
The Odebolt native celebrated his 22nd birthday the same day as Super Bowl LIX and nabbed an interception in the game, which he ran back for a touchdown. It was the rookie cornerback’s first NFL touchdown and helped the Philadelphia Eagles win the game over the Kansas City Chiefs, 40-22.
The former Hawkeye will be back in the metro for an autograph signing on Saturday, May 10th, at Hi-5 Comics and Cards in Des Moines. DeJean will be signing autographs from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., but the opportunity to snag his signature is limited; only 300 items will be signed, and only 100 photo opportunities will be available. Tickets for the signing can be purchased here.
DeJean will be back in Des Moines on June 1st for a special charity softball game at Principal Park that benefits the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital. The event will include some of his current Philadelphia Eagles teammates as well as former Iowa Hawkeye teammates.
