Philadelphia Eaagles Howie Roseman has hit back-to-back home runs in the last few drafts, and this year's back-to-back blasts will play in their first Super Bowl in their first NFL seasons.
PHILADELPHIA – The final journey of their rookie seasons will take them to Bourbon Street for Super Bowl LIX.
DeJean, who will turn 22 on Super Bowl Sunday, and Quinyon Michell, who is 23, have brought talent and youth to the Eagles’ defense and have made a huge impact on helping the Eagles arrive in a second Super Bowl in three seasons, earning a rematch with the Kansas City Chiefs on Feb. 9 in the New Orleans Caesars Superdome.
The drafting of Mitchell with the 22nd pick, then, 18 picks later, and a trade-up with the Washington Commanders, taking DeJean at No. 40, has rebuilt a secondary in need of a makeover, and Howie Roseman delivered with back-to-back home runs. The GM went deep with back-to-back shots in 2023 with Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith, in 2022 with Jordan Davis and Cam Jurgens, and again in 2021 with DeVonta Smith and Landon Dickerson.
DeJean is enjoying himself. He went to a Flyers game and got to ride on the Zamboni machine between periods as the crowd cheered. He went to a Sixers game to see the Lakers and LeBron James.
