Omar Cooper, um is a kind of an interesting variable in all this, too, Dan, because he is to me like probably a slot receiver in the NFL. He was a slot receiver last year at Indiana, and obviously he's been competing and, you know, maybe even lost the starting slot receiver job to Williams...Omar Cooper almost certainly is going to start the season slow... He is coming from a little bit of a Mickey Mouse offense in Indiana... that guy is definitely going to work his ass off... he was like, 'What's my like worst graded route? What can What's What's the area where I can actually get better?'
STACKED’s take
First-round slot receiver may have lost starting job; slow start likely but coachable.
Omar Cooper, the Jets' first-round pick, is viewed as primarily a slot receiver in the NFL (he was a slot receiver at Indiana) and represents an interesting but problematic variable in the Jets' offensive scheme. Harmon notes that Cooper has been competing for the starting slot receiver job and may have even lost it to Isaiah Williams in camp, creating a scheme conflict: with Kenyan Seddik as a move tight end and Cooper as a pure slot receiver, it's unclear how to get both players on the field in two-receiver sets and 12 personnel packages, limiting his ability to maximize his talents. Cooper almost certainly is going to start the season slow due to learning curve from Indiana's offense. However, Harmon emphasizes Cooper's exceptional work ethic and coachability; Cooper specifically asked Harmon about his worst-graded routes and areas for improvement, demonstrating rare self-awareness. Harmon expects Cooper to improve significantly on curl routes and man coverage, suggesting mid-season emergence potential despite slow start.
