Cooper DeJean is finally healthy ahead of the NFL Draft after breaking his leg in November. That injury delayed his chance to showcase his talent for teams, but he’s rebuilding his stock ahead of the draft.

Shortly after being cleared to resume all NFL activities, DeJean hosted a workout for NFL teams. He did more than show he is healthy, DeJean put his electrifying physical tools on display with a 4.4 40-yard dash time and a 38.5″ vertical. Those numbers will help ease concerns for DeJean’s missed time.

Despite his electric workout, it is still a bit tough to project DeJean’s eventual landing spot in the draft. He’s widely expected to be a first-round pick, and NFL.com’s Bucky Brooks has DeJean as one of the top wild cards in the draft.

Brooks lists DeJean’s ceiling as coming off the board at No. 15 overall (Indianapolis Colts) with a floor of being selected at No. 31 overall (San Francisco 49ers). Part of that discrepancy is related to DeJean’s late-season injury, and his versatility also makes it a bit tough to project how teams view the former Hawkeye.

At ESPN Bet, DeJean is given the 3rd-best odds to be the first cornerback selected at +800. Toledo’s Quinyon Mitchell (-200) leads that group while Alabama’s Terrion Arnold (+150) is included ahead of DeJean.

Team-specific needs always impact the flow of the first round, so it’s possible a run on a specific position leads DeJean to slide a bit. Even if that happens, it’s hard to believe a player with his skill set and athleticism slides out of the first round, especially after his workout numbers.
