Iowa CB Cooper DeJean spends one of four top-30 visits with the Steelers

It’s no secret that the Pittsburgh Steelers are in need of some help at cornerback, and Iowa prospect Cooper DeJean is one they could have their eye on in Round 1. They’ve done their due diligence, too, hosting him for a top-30 visit. As NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday, it was one of just four teams that DeJean had an official top-30 visit with due to a tight pre-draft schedule.

DeJean’s tight schedule was due to combine medical re-checks coming off a fractured fibula and a late workout for teams on April 15th after not initially being ready to participate in the team’s official Pro Day on March 18.

At that individual workout, just under two weeks after being medically cleared to return, DeJean ran a 4.43 40-yard dash with a 38.5” vertical jump and a 10’4” broad jump, earning him a 9.85 relative athletic score.
