Quote:Truth is, he's got sufficient speed and has the rare ability to consistently beat his man at the line of scrimmage (not unlike Jerry Rice.)

 

He's got very good hands.

 

He's an excellent, if not elite route runner.

 

He's not being drafted to block.  No matter your opinion of that skill. Ernest Wilford, he's not... and that's a good thing.

 

He's self-motivated, and has a work ethic second to none.  Yet another area he's been compared to Jerry Rice.

 

That's nothing like whatever, or whoever, you described.

• You say he has "very good hands", but I believe he dropped around 15 passes over the past two seasons, with the majority coming last season. The game vs. Ohio State was particularly rough in this aspect.
  
• I personally don't see the elite route running ability, but I've seen others mention that.
  
• True, he definitely isn't being drafted specifically to block. However, he WILL be asked to block in our system and you'd like him to be able to at least hold his own. I haven't seen anything to suggest he can.
  
• I'm not debating his work ethic, I'm saying he quits on routes. Maybe it was the college level and he was bored of the level of competition? Whatever the case, there's clearly evidence of routes that Cooper quit on. That's something that is clearly correctable, but you can't have that at the next level.
