Jonathan Cooper 2021 NFL Draft Profile<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ohio State has produced many NFL pass-rushers in recent years. From Joey Bosa to Chase Young, elite pass-rushers have been coming out of Ohio State aplenty. While Jonathan Cooper has been with the program for five seasons, he hasn’t quite cemented his name in that class of players. Mostly playing as a complementary piece to more prestigious names, Cooper is still a player to watch come draft day. He had his most efficient season in 2020 where he recorded 22 tackles and 3.5 sacks in just seven games.<\/p>\n

Cooper doesn’t have the elite athletic characteristics that excite NFL teams, however, he is a hardworking, steady edge defender. His floor seems relatively high and he should be able to offer decent snaps as a rotational player right away in the NFL. Although Cooper’s athletic traits don’t excite much, his hardworking attitude on and off the field is where the buzz surrounding his name comes from. A two-time all academic member, along with being a team captain, show teams the good attitude and grind you look for in a mid-round pick.<\/p>\n
