“That’s a hell of a birthday present. You keep doing that, you’re gonna have an even better one.”

Barkley wasn’t lying. DeJean was outstanding all season, and his first career pick couldn’t have come at a better time. He was already proving himself as a big-time playmaker in the postseason, but that type of play cements you into Philadelphia lure.

From taking on Derrick Henry and winning to shutting down top receivers throughout the playoffs, DeJean’s rookie season was nothing short of elite.

What a way to celebrate. Go Birds.
