Yep. Cooper will run between a 4.31 and a 4.38 at the combine.

cooper will run the best 40 of all of them. hes just so smooth you dont notice how fast he is.


Exactly. His route running helps but it's really his speed that allows him to get behind defenses so often. Landon Collins said Cooper is the fastest player on the team and we've got a couple guys who were track standouts in high school (Sylve, White, Brown)

If he's healthy look for him to put on a clinic at the combine

What makes Coop so special is how comprehensive his skill set is. Route-running, acceleration, top end speed, hands, blocking, football IQ, high pointing contested passes, elusiveness, and he even has surprising power/ability to break tackles

Reminds me of a bigger TY Hilton

There is no comparison in speed and route running. Cooper is a legitimate 4.4-4.3 guy while Duke is 4.6-4.5. Cooper runs probably the best routes I have seen from a college WR. As has been said, Duke is a bigger guy that can be more physical. Cooper will be a top 10 pick or better, while at the moment Duke would be no better than a third round pick. That could change is Duke comes back and puts up crazy numbers with Johnson next season.

DeAndrew (sp) White #2. He has a hamstring issue I think. I think he is in the same class as Blake, 5th yr sr.

Of the 4 I listed, he really doesn't belong. Good player and a good TEAM guy.


I know, I know.....just needed a fourth.

If I were an NFL GM and couldn't get Cooper I would not be the least bit disappointed to get Williams.

Going by talent alone, and if you wanna use a TE, OJ Howard will probably be a first round pick no matter how he produces here.

Right NOW its Amari, 10 years from now it may be Duke, Duke reminds me of a BIGGER version of Jarvis Landry last year. Catching the ball in HEAVY traffic is something Jarvis was the master at last year.

Amari definitely reminds me of AJ Green when Green was at Georgia. Quickness, Speed, Route Running, probably the most Polished receiver in college football this year.

Sammie Coates isn't in the same league as Duke Williams, bro.

Interesting to read all the different opinions, but I think we can all agree on this:

All 3 will make Patrick Peterson look foolish on a regular basis.

One huge difference...

KB is a 4.55 guy.

Coates is a sub-4.4 guy.
