From the article

Even on the first offensive snap, Darius Cooper ran a deep route through the C-gap... Cooper finished with three receptions for 44 yards on four targets, and his movement skills stood out whenever the ball reached him in space. He looks very fluid and powerful as a route runner and with the ball in his hands.

Cooper fits new Eagles scheme with sharp routes and middle-field separation skills.

Cooper is featured in the Eagles' new offensive scheme through C-gap insert concepts, running deep routes through the C-gap on the first offensive snap. He finished with three receptions for 44 yards on four targets, demonstrating strong athleticism and route-running ability. His movement skills stood out in space, making linebackers miss and turning easy throws into larger gains. Cooper runs sharp routes, plucks the ball cleanly away from his frame to avoid hits, and shows the awareness and athleticism to separate and finish catches against better competition—traits that fit Mannion's emphasis on attacking the middle of the field.
