Cooper DeJean is going to miss Christian Parker.
Parker was hired by the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday to serve as their next deensive coordinator. DeJean played under Parker on the Philadelphia Eagles and is sad to lose the coach.
“Mannnn. They got a great one wouldn’t be the player I am without Coach CP,” DeJean wrote in a post published on his X profile Thursday.

Parker has served as the Eagles’ passing game coordinator/defensive backs coach the last two seasons. Prior to that, the 34-year-old worked three seasons with the Denver Broncos as a defensive backs coach.
DeJean was a second-round pick by the Eagles in 2024 and is a defensive back. Due to his position, he got to spend a lot of time with Parker, whom he clearly believes is a good coach.
DeJean is coming off an All-Pro season where he had 93 tackles and 2 interceptions. He was a hero in the Super Bowl last year when he had a pick-six.
