Video: Eagles' Cooper DeJean Becomes 1st NFL Player with Super Bowl TD on Birthday

Cooper DeJean is having a good birthday so far.

The Philadelphia Eagles rookie cornerback made history against the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl on Sunday, intercepting quarterback Patrick Mahomes and taking it to the house to become the first player in NFL history to record a touchdown on their birthday.

DeJean, who turned 22 on Sunday, helped the Eagles pile onto their lead with the touchdown as it made it a 17-0 game late in the second quarter. It was the first interception and touchdown of DeJean's NFL career.

DeJean, a second-round pick out of Iowa, had an outstanding rookie year, recording 51 tackles, six passes defended and a forced fumble in the regular season. Coming into Sunday's game, he had recorded 15 tackles and three passes defended in the postseason.

While DeJean became the first player to record a birthday touchdown, his teammate is looking to accomplish the feat as well. Saquon Barkley, who has had a career year thus far, is celebrating his 28th birthday on Sunday. He can add to the outstanding season with a touchdown in the Super Bowl.

Barkley had a year to remember in his first season with Philadelphia. The former New York Giant finished the regular season with 2,005 rushing yards—just 100 away from matching the single-season rushing record—and 13 touchdowns. He can add to the tremendous season with a birthday touchdown in the Super Bowl.

Touchdown or not, it will be a birthday to remember for DeJean and Barkley if they can win their first Super Bowl.
