0:00.0

This is Indiana wide receiver Omar Cooper.

0:13.3

The most fun I had watching guys after the catch was Omar Cooper.

0:16.5

So many broken tackles.

0:18.3

There's a reason why he had 23 screen receptions because they worked.

0:22.0

He was breaking more tackles, pretty much double the rate of college football. I think he's

0:26.8

going to win mostly underneath, but he does have four, four, one speed. He did play a different

0:31.0

role the season prior. So a very confusing prospect to me, but there's definitely something to

0:35.3

him. Six foot, 199 pounds, 14th percentile arm link. Then we'll get into that a little bit later on. Like you said, 442, 155, 10 yards split. Also a 65th percentile in the jumps. Listen up to me. It stood up to you. Gumbie-like yak movements after the catch. I mean, some of his joints are made of rubber. I'm certain of it.

0:54.8

If you look at this one route versus Illinois,

0:57.3

it's a glance route.

0:58.0

He makes a single high safety with at the catch point,

1:01.8

adds 10 yards while surviving another tackle from the trailing cornerback with his knees

1:06.8

and ankles again being bent in different directions,

1:09.6

almost touching the turf.

1:11.5

And then somehow another seven yards to close it out twisting and turning on final contact his best rate is that

1:17.9

there is a magnet north at the end of the field as soon as he catches it and it gets upfield to me

1:24.0

instead of overly dancing and trying to create a little bit too much yeah yeah so he has has like the explosiveness in the short area to create yak, but he also has the

1:30.8

physicality and he knows he can just run through some arm tackles. I had another one where he bounced

1:34.8

off of Miami safety and in the house did his too. So I saw the same one against Illinois. I think

1:40.4

in general, like top of the line for Omar Cooper is he's got the yak skills and he's got really good zone feel. And those two things together give him a really high floor as a prospect. And I think if you want to sell me on that he's also has four four two speed. And there's maybe a little bit more to his profile than just that. That's where I think that some people are going to have the round one grades where yak skills plus zone feel like to me that's a round two talent. There's some other interesting parts of his profile. But those two things in together, that's really good for the modern NFL right now. Just a couple more things that stood out with his hidden yards. There's a second and eight speed out from the slot. Most wide receivers would have, you know, been pushed out for a third and two, just a six yard gain.

2:26.6

Instead, he tiptoes the sideline to pick up an extra four yards to make it a first down or like that out route versus Oregon, that crazy one-handed catch that he makes. He bends at the waist and breaks the tackle all in one motion.

2:31.8

The cornerback just goes over top of him.
