Lol good one

He made the squad last year but had about as much presence as  a field mouse

Just to offer some perspective here...

Cooks did make the roster last season and was unimpressive when he finally saw 108 offensive snaps due to receiver injuries. 

In those 108 snaps he saw 4 targets. 
That should tell you something, and it's not a very good "something." 

Now it would appear, Cooks had 2 impressive catches in the second week of camp after being completely lost in the mix prior to that - and according to all the beat reports he is facing tougher competition this year at the bottom of the receiver depth chart.

Personally - I'd love to see a 6'4" undrafted receiver breakout this preseason and become a viable backup for the Jags, but I really do think Elijah Cooks is going to have an even more difficult time separating himself from the pack this year than he did last year. 

Luckily for us fans of the team, that's a good thing. Better competition for backup roles was needed virtually everywhere.
