He's most comparable to Robert Meachem IMO. Not huge but big enough with solid hands and excellent speed.

Glad you didn't compare them then add a caveat that makes Cooper > Rice. Glad you didn't.

You rate Dwyane Bowe ahead of Josh Reed? Lol
Absolutely. NFL scouts agreed with me as well. Dwayne Bowe is a much more physically impressive WR. That is all I am basing this off of. Its also why Dwayne Bowe has had a much more successful NFL career.

He's right with them for sure.

Based on raw ability (ball skills, speed, size, athleticism, etc.) he is behind Duke Williams in the SEC this year
Lol wut. Williams is heavier than Cooper and maybe an inch taller. That's about it.

I have spoken personally with two hall of fame NFL WRs and one DB and all three said Cooper runs routes better than most NFL receivers. He has the incredible ability to make smooth and quick cuts to create separation. He is an Elite WR in every sense. Better than Julio.

You can't honestly look at Williams on a field, then look at Cooper on the field, and say that one isn't much more physically impressive than the other. You are like that guy that tried to convince me that Dez Bryant wasn't that big because "dude he's only 6'2 and a little over 200 ponds according to NFL website"... Just look at them, Duke Williams will be able to make catches that Cooper won't.

Better than Julio.

Also - Coop's initial seperation at the line is incredible. Probably the best I have ever seen at getting himself open in press coverage.
THAT is really his best attribute and what's making him nearly impossible to stop in college. Above any other quality it's the initial separation that's getting it done for Coop.

And Julio will never get open as often as Cooper will. Not to mention Cooper will not drop the passes that Julio does. Cooper > college Julio.
And Julio is a Top 5 all time favorite Bama Player of Mine.

Good athlete, great player. He is more polished right now than any of the players listed by the OP but the only negative is his ceiling might not be as high as a Julio or AJ based on physical size.
