This week at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, organizations are getting to know some of the best prospects in the nation.
One of those players is former Texas A&M junior linebacker Edgerrin Cooper. The AP All-American first-team selection displayed his speed by running the 40-yard dash in 4.52 seconds on Thursday night.
NFL Network national correspondent Stacey Dales also shared a heartwarming anecdote about Cooper. The 6-foot-3, 230-pound defensive signal-caller has six dogs, three French bulldogs and three cane corsos.
“I’ve got some hard-hitting stuff here. You guys were just talking about dogs and it’s important to put the spotlight on Edgerrin Cooper, the linebacker out of Texas A&M,” Dales stated. “His dogs are really important to him. Those are his buddies, they’re with his grandparents right now.”
According to Dales, Cooper walks each dog individually, so he certainly gets his steps in and daily cardio with his buddies collectively for at least three hours a day.
Texas A&M LB Edgerrin Cooper has another passion outside of football…
