Expert Analysis
Herman Thomas | Prep Redzone Scout
Karns proved to be a reliable target in this quick-hitting offense and a big-play threat after the catch. He did most of his damage from the slot where he showed the ability to close the space on a defensive back and get them off-balanced before breaking at the top of his route to create separation. Karns turned into an exception runner after the catch, racking up yards and showing physicality by bouncing off of free hits on him. He is the exact type of receiver who excels in the RPO game with his toughness and ability to get his hands and eyes on the ball in a hurry with the skills after the catch to get up-field and make defenders miss. Karns tallied over 600 yards and 6 touchdowns on 48 catches in just 8 games last season.

Cooper shows up on film as a smooth and explosive playmaker who consistently gets open and creates separation. Runs precise routes with sharp breaks, using quick feet and sudden bursts of speed to gain an advantage over defenders. Displays reliable hands and body control, making contested catches look routine and adjusting well to poorly thrown passes. Once the ball is in his hands, he accelerates through open space, showing balance, vision, and the ability to turn short gains into big plays. Also flashes the ability to make defenders miss in the open field, making him a consistent threat in any offensive scheme.
