Cooper’s another one of those guys who brings a ton of physicality to the table, but doesn’t play out of control. He’s got a great feel for when to go full throttle and when to hang back just enough to keep himself in position. You can tell he enjoys the physical side of the game — he sees a lead blocker coming downhill and doesn’t hesitate for a second. He’ll charge straight into the chaos just to blow things up and give his teammates a shot to clean it up. What makes him stand out even more is how secure of a tackler he is. Once he gets his hands on you, it’s over. He wraps up with good form, drives his feet, and doesn’t let go. That kind of reliability is huge at the linebacker spot. But he’s not just a thumper — he’s got enough agility to hold up when he’s asked to cover space. He stays with his assignment and doesn’t get caught trying to do too much, which keeps the defense steady. He’s clearly at his best when attacking downhill, but there’s more to his game than just physicality. With his motor, toughness, and discipline, he brings real value to the middle of a defense. Coaches love guys who don’t need constant reminders to do their job — and he fits that mold perfectly.
