Scouting Report: Strengths
- Cooper chases well in pursuit, and Cooper has the athleticism to play in space if asked to drop into coverage.
- He’s very good in coverage when looking into the backfield in zone coverage.
- Shows toughness to get under the pads of tackles to bull them, club them upfield to get the inside lane, or fight through blocks for secondary rush when the passer steps up.
- He’s rangy and instinctive when he’s looking into the backfield as a zone defender.
- Gets pressures on inside stunts and was too explosive for college guards to handle.
- A bit stiff but makes the clean open-field tackle. Good effort in pursuit.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Cooper is on the small side, and his frame is pretty much maxed out. Despite his effort and intensity, he’ll simply get swallowed up at times.
- He lacks the speed of a chase and- tackle guy. He lacks twitch as a pass rusher and lacks the feet and flexibility to threaten around the edge.
- Cooper lacks elite traits in the pass rush and will need to develop a counter move.
