On the NFL channel coverage of the combine a scout mentioned he would like to see the guys race, feeling some guys are faster against competition rather than a clock. Cooper may be in that class.EaglesOwntheSky said:Jerry Rice didn't run a 4.7. That is a common myth. Rice was in the 4.5 range. Although 40 times aren't everything, they are something. If Coop can't demonstrate break away speed at the event he has specifically been training for for months, then that will hurt his draft position.
Coops cone drill MIGHT rescue him. He did pretty well there.
