Jonathan Cooper receives high praise at NFL Combine

Posted Feb 23, 2013
Jonathan Cooper, G/C, North Carolina: Prior to the combine, I know a few teams had Cooper rated higher than Chance Warmack. Those teams weren't disappointed with the performance of the talented North Carolina lineman. He ran an impressive 5.07 in the 40, one day after putting up 35 reps of 225 pounds. There are highly respected evaluators who feel Cooper could be a Pro Bowl-caliber guard or center. (NFL.com)
