Omar Cooper Jr. praises Eagles, eyes chance to learn from stars
Omar Cooper Jr. shared his excitement about a potential opportunity with the Eagles, praising the team’s recent success and wide receiver room.
Other needs are probably more important. The Philadelphia Eagles could use an edge rusher and must continue preparing for life after Lane Johnson , but help at wide receiver is also needed, especially with ongoing uncertainty surrounding A. J.
Brown and the expectation that trade discussions could heat up again after June 1 . Yes, Philadelphia should absolutely use some of its draft capital on adding another receiver. It seems Howie Roseman may have bought his team a few rounds by adding Marquise Brown , among others.
Still, no one should be shocked if a receiver is added earlier than expected, and no one should complain if that receiver is Omar Cooper Jr of the College Football Playoff National Championship-winning Indiana Hoosiers . Cooper has already earned the respect of Eagles fans and the Philly media, which is no small feat. He’s been connected to the team in some of the earlier mock drafts , but the intrigue goes beyond projections.
It’s about fit and mindset. Omar Cooper compliments the Eagles organization and DeVonta Smith. In the days leading up to another NFL draft, Cooper recently spoke with Josina Anderson.
