A gap/duo power run game emphasizing inside zone concepts and athletic pullers fits Cooper's skill set best.
Year 1 starter at guard, with a ceiling to be a Pro Bowl interior lineman capable of anchoring a physical run game.
A purely pass-heavy Air Raid system where he's constantly in vertical pass protection.
Cooper's athleticism and power make him a prime candidate for schemes that leverage mobile interior linemen in both run blocking and pass protection.
Selected #7 overall in Round 1 of the 2013 NFL Draft by Arizona Cardinals out of North Carolina.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
