I see Cooper get labeled a lot as being a good athlete and elite route runner. That's false. The guy is an elite athlete. He'll run somewhere between a 4.30 and a 4.39 at the combine. He turns into a running back when he gets the ball. He usually breaks the first tackle. His running ability actually reminds me a lot of Allen Iverson in his prime on the basketball court, very sudden in his stop/start move and top speed in 2 steps. He's the best I've ever seen at lulling a DB to sleep, he goes from 75% to 100% speed routinely and that's hard to cover when it only takes him a step.

Best comparison I can think of is Percy Harvin with better hands and better routes. His size, speed, yac ability screams Percy Harvin

Yep. People laugh at the bubble screen stuff, but he gets 5+ yards on 80% of those short hitch throws (we rarely throw bubbles anymore) because he makes a catch and then makes the DB miss almost every single time. Unless the DB is hitting him as he catches the ball he is going to make the guy miss. It's unbelievable how good he is in space.
