Green Bay Packers LB Edgerrin Cooper Earns 2nd NFC Defensive Player of the Week Nod

Green Bay Packers linebacker Edgerrin Cooper has been turning heads at Lambeau Field and beyond in the 2024 season, with 59 tackles, 3.5 sacks, a forced fumble, and now an interception.

And this is only his first season in the pros.

Wednesday afternoon, the Aggie linebacker added to his individual accolades for his rookie year, being gifted his second NFC Defensive Player of the Week Award after his masterful performance against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday Night Football.

In his first game back after a hamstring injury forced him to miss three games, Cooper wasted no time picking up where he left off, tackling five Seahawks, two for loss, sacking Geno Smith, and picking off Sam Howell late in the fourth quarter for his first career interception as the Packers enjoyed an easy win in Seattle, 30-13.
