In his first full season as a starter, Dean finished second on the Philadelphia Eagles with 128 tackles. His ability to disrupt plays and pile up tackles is undeniable, making him a Pro Bowl candidate in the right system.
However, durability remains the primary concern. Dean has missed 25 games over his four seasons, mostly due to injury. This availability issue places him on NFL.com’s "boom-or-bust" list, with potential suitors like Minnesota, Tampa Bay, or Buffalo needing to decide if they bet on his tape or his health.
