The NFL announced that Green Bay Packers’ rookie linebacker Edgerrin Cooper has been named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week for his performance in the team’s win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
The second-round rookie has been seeing increased snaps since the start of the season and has been making the most of it when he’s been on the field. This past week Cooper tallied up 8 tackles, a strip sack, and a pass breakup while playing just 60% of snaps.
