Q&A with former UNC football player Jonathan Cooper

Posted Aug 25, 2015
Selected by the Arizona Cardinals in the seventh overall pick of the 2013 NFL Draft, former UNC offensive guard Jonathan Cooper became the first UNC offensive lineman drafted in the first round since 1987. As a senior in 2012, he earned consensus All-America honors, resulting in his No. 64 jersey being honored in Kenan Stadium. Since joining the Cardinals, Cooper’s career has been defined by injuries.
