Former Iowa football star Cooper DeJean was given a hard time about his home state’s climate during a recent Philadelphia Eagles practice.
DeJean, a former Hawkeye All-American and a second-round NFL Draft pick by the Eagles in 2024, was asked by teammate Darius Slay if it ever gets warm in Iowa.
“Does it get warm? Yeah it gets warm,” said DeJean, a native of Odebolt.
“I just can never see Iowa being warm,” said Slay, a 12-year NFL veteran who played collegiately at Mississippi State.
“Only in the summertime, really,” DeJean said.
“Only in the summertime? So y’all got no warm time except the summertime?” Slay asked.
“Pretty much” DeJean responded.
“Nah that’s not it for me,” Slay said. “You have to move.”
DeJean and the Eagles play host to the Los Angeles Rams in a playoff game on Sunday in Philadelphia, where a high of 42 degrees is forecast. Downright balmy!
