Edgerrin Cooper

Adequately-sized prospect for scheme-versatile roles as a linebacker. Owns a plus wingspan (6-4) that should help with bulking potential. Has played on the edge and from the middle and made plays. Also has provided big-play punch as a part-time ball-carrier. Athletic enough to play in space if asked. Flashes impressive pursuit ability thanks to generally solid tackling ability and great closing speed. Can improve pad level and leverage, which will help lateral change of direction in coverage and arriving pop as a tackler. Occasionally takes chances in pursuit that get him in less-than-ideal angles. Needs to continue to maximize frame to stand up to P5-caliber blockers in the run game. Athletic, instinctive linebacker with versatility and playmaking ability who could become multi-year starter at high-major level.
