MOUNT PLESANT, Mich. – Cooper Rush has been overlooked before.
He had one scholarship offer coming out of Lansing Catholic High School, and he made the most of that, becoming one of the Mid-American Conference’s all-time best quarterbacks in his four years at Central Michigan.
The 6-foot-3, 223-pound Charlotte native went undrafted on Saturday as he watched the NFL draft with family and friends. Shortly after the draft ended, Rush had a team, the Dallas Cowboys.
Rush will join the team as an undrafted free agent, joining former Chippewa stars Thomas Rawls (Seattle Seahawks) and Jahleel Addae (San Diego Chargers) who followed that route and are today starters with their respective NFL teams.
