Pros
-
Block-Shedding
Displays an ability to swipe and lose would-be blockers. Excellent job manipulating linebackers -
Man Coverage
Has the propensity to match backs and tight ends with fluid movement skills -
Tackling
Very sound fundamentally with an excellent ability to drop his weight and wrap up properly
Cons
-
Frame
Long but wiry for a traditional stacked backer -
Physicality
He struggles to disengage with heftier linemen and can be left out to dry when caught in space -
Pursuit angles
Consistently takes questionable angles to the ball, missing out on tackles that should be easy
Eval:
Cooper is a rangy backer who can mirror pass catchers and play through the ball carrier with excellent fundamentals.
Teams will worry about his size and physicality, particularly on early downs as he develops.
With usage in sub packages early and the potential to be a three down player that fits the bill as a modern stacked backer with fluid movement skills and new age skillset.
Floor Comp: DeMarvion Overshown
Long player that can cover but lacks the sand in his pants to be a regular stacked player
Ceiling Comp: Tremaine Edmunds
Sideline-to-sideline player who makes the most of his length and has the physicality to play on an every-down basis
