Former Iowa cornerback and top NFL draft prospect Cooper DeJean believes he can take on Caitlin Clark in a game of one-on-one basketball.

Ahead of the NFL draft, DeJean, who many believe is a first-round pick at cornerback, told CBS Sports that he’s been asked by teams if he could be Clark in basketball, and he thinks he could actually pull it off.

“A lot of teams have asked me if I could beat Caitlin Clark, I said I think I can”

“She’d definitely score on me, for sure, but I think I could pull it off, “It would be close, though. … She can shoot from anywhere, I think.”

It is worth noting that DeJean was a stud basketball player in high school before transitioning to football full-time.

Fans immediately stated debating if DeJean could actually beat Clakr in a game of one-on-one.
