Iowa cornerback Cooper DeJean has reportedly been viewed as a safety prospect by many NFL teams ahead of the draft, per ESPN's Field Yates.
"I think there's a chance that a lot of teams, as a matter of fact many teams that I have spoken with continue to view him as a safety prospect," Yates said on First Draft on Monday (7:10 mark).
DeJean spent his college career as a cornerback, but it seems NFL teams are looking to transition him into a new position at safety. He was outstanding at cornerback while playing for Iowa, notching 41 tackles, five passes defended and a pair of interceptions in 10 games his junior year.
