Texas A&M junior linebacker Edgerrin Cooper is turning heads at the NFL Combine and reportedly has met with several teams this week at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
According to Aggies Today, Cooper visited with the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, Los Angeles Rams and Pittsburgh Steelers per sources. The 6-foot-3, 230-pound prospect ran the 40-yard dash in 4.52 seconds on Thursday night and the world learned about the love he has for his six dogs.
The report from Aggies Today indicating that Cooper met with the Steelers comes as no surprise to many in Aggieland as he recently “stood out” to Pittsburgh who reportedly “loves” him.
ESPN NFL Draft analyst Field Yates is also a fan of Cooper’s, joining his colleague Jordan Reid.
“On the short list for best game by any defensive player in college football last year was Texas A&M LB Edgerrin Cooper against Alabama,” Yates stated on X. “A premium athlete that can also play on the edge. In a league with so many mobile QBs, his athleticism and range is invaluable.”
The Steelers pick 20th overall in April’s draft.
