Do you like fast football players? Do you also like unhinged linebackers?
Then Edgerrin Cooper may be the player for you.
The Green Bay Packers took Cooper with the 45th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Despite fans hoping that Cooper DeJean may fall to the Packers in the second round, the Philadelphia Eagles swooped in, and Brian Gutekunst opted to trade back.
As far as “consolation prizes” go, landing a player like Cooper is a massive win for the franchise. Not only are they getting an explosive downhill player, but they’re getting a linebacker who is so disruptive and aggressive that it has the potential to transform Green Bay’s entire run defense in 2024.
