The Philadelphia Eagles finally got the better of the Chiefs in the Super Bowl, with Jalen Hurts walking away with the MVP award, too.

However, the true MVP of the night was their defense.

They relentlessly pressured Patrick Mahomes and stifled the Chiefs offense.

According to some, there was a star that shined brighter than Hurts rookie cornerback Cooper DeJean.The Iowa alum had a standout performance, intercepting Mahomes and taking it to the house for a touchdown.

He, along with fellow rookie cornerback Quinyon Mitchell, was a key part of the Eagles solid secondary throughout the season.

DeJean is already building on that success this offseason, impressing fans with his intense workout regimen.The NFL posted a video of DeJean putting in work in the weight room.

Hes been focusing on physical development with a variety of muscle-building and core-strengthening exercises.

From deadlifts and weighted squats to lunges, intense stretching drills, and chest presses, DeJean is leaving no stone unturned in preparation for his sophomore year as the Eagles aim to defend their title.Cooper Dejean Year 2 loading(via realpep_az/IG) pic.twitter.com/2uHONHNCIS NFL (@NFL) April 8, 2025Fans are buzzing over DeJeans dedication.

Fans flocked to the NFLs website in large numbers to cast their votes for the award.

Cooper received 2.5 votes, while Hurts and Josh Sweat earned 1 and 0.5 votes, respectively.However, since the voting system uses 20 total votes, fans votes only accounted for four.

The remaining 16 votes came from media members, and this is where Jalen Hurts triumphed, given that the league is largely driven by quarterbacks.The Eagles did lose some key players to free agency, particularly on defense.

But, much like last season, Howie Roseman will turn to the draft to fill out the roster.

Given the success of players like DeJean and Mitchell, he has a proven formula to build a team capable of making another Super Bowl run.The post Super Bowl MVP Loading: Fans Predict Jalen Hurts Successor as Cooper DeJean Shines in Offseason Workout appeared first on The SportsRush..
