Bleeding Green Nation on Darius Cooper
From the article
Cooper has been the third-best receiver on the team throughout camp, and there's a sizeable gap between him and whoever is fourth. He is going to make the team. We're bumping him all the way up from the bubble to lock status.
STACKED’s take
Cooper elevated to lock status; third-best receiver in camp with Hurts endorsement.
Cooper has been the third-best receiver on the team throughout camp with a sizeable gap between him and whoever is fourth; the source bumped him from bubble to lock status for the 53-man roster. He's putting together a standout training camp for the second consecutive year and is pushing his way into potential playing time at wide receiver. Jalen Hurts name-checked him without prompting during an NFL Network interview, which the source notes should not be dismissed given Hurts' intentionality with what and who he discusses. Cooper makes contested catches, adjusts to the ball, and had a strong rep against All-Pro cornerback Quinyon Mitchell. The source would put Cooper over Johnny Wilson as the "dirty work" receiver and compares his trajectory to Victor Cruz's Year 2 reconfiguration from longshot to offensive piece.
