Cooper DeJean’s 22nd birthday will be one for the books, thanks to his incredible performance in Super Bowl LIX. The rookie cornerback for the Philadelphia Eagles made history by becoming the first player to score a touchdown in the Super Bowl on his birthday.
DeJean intercepted a pass from Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and returned it for a 38-yard touchdown, pushing the Eagles’ lead to 17-0.
This remarkable play not only marked DeJean’s first interception in the NFL but also underscored his significant influence on the game. His pick-six nearly doubled the total offensive yards the Chiefs had at that moment, showcasing his defensive skills.

He joins a select group of players who have played in a Super Bowl on their birthdays, but he is the only one to score a touchdown.
The Eagles ultimately clinched their second Super Bowl title with a decisive 40-22 win over Kansas City. Cooper DeJean’s extraordinary accomplishment will be remembered in NFL history as one of the most unforgettable birthday celebrations ever seen on such a grand stage.
