I was thinking hard hitting safety if he drops excess weight.At 5'9" and 220 can you really see him at LB? Maybe he is targeted for FB (add 10-20 lbs) and special teams? Looks like an aggressive and talented kid but LB seems out of reach for him.
Bounoconti, Sam Mills, Julian Edelman, Wes Welker, Danny Woodhead, Darren Sproles, and particularly Darrell Green, Emmitt Smith and Barry Sanders, among others all excel at the NFL level. On the other hand, they have notoriety, not only because they are really good at what they do, but because they also excel while being outside the norm height-wise.
I just watched Cooper's Hudl clip. I think if he shaves a bout 10 lbs. off his frame, he could make an halfway decent safety, especially in run support. That would give him the extra half a second it appears he needs to read and react. Another part of me feels that this would go a long way in maintaining a Georgia pipeline.
I was commenting on perceived diminutive professional football players.You really didn't just compare RB to LB did you?
Any word as to why? Kids decommit for all sorts of reasons, but I wonder if it has anything to do with the new AD and Babers? Probably notRivalsFriedman 9:09pm via Twitter Web Client
