Really excited about what this kid could do out of the slot. He brings that element that we haven't had since a healthy Amendola.

Goff passes back to Cooper who hits Tavon in stride for six, Rob Boras will be getting interviews next year for Head Coaching opportunities.

I posted this on a different thread...Pharoh Cooper is exciting me!
Jewel of the Draft, identified by Chris Canty is Rams WR Pharoh Cooper.: "Big Time Playmaking ability.hands catcher: A lot of WR's are body catchers, but he is a proven hands catcher. He's quicker than fast. He does play faster than that 4.65 time at the Combine...But listen, this guy can flat out make it happen on the football field. He has a lot of versatility. I'm realy excited to see how he fits into that Rams receiving core with Kenny Britt and Tavon Austin"

He totally runs funny, which affects his straight line speed, but he plays way over that timed speed.
He runs like an angry running back, and has amazing burst, and quickness.

Kiper: Cooper a 'steal' in fourth round
COLUMBIA – Many were surprised South Carolina wide receiver Pharoh Cooper lasted until the fourth round before getting selected by the Los Angeles Rams in the 2016 NFL draft.
Count ESPN draft analysts Mel Kiper and Todd McShay among that group.
“I’m surprised he lasted until the fourth round,” said Kiper during a Monday afternoon conference call. “Measurables were never going to work in his favor. He is not a workout warrior. He’s a football player.
“He’s just a tough kid. He blocks, he catches in traffic. He does all the things – he’ll go get the football down the field. He’ll do everything you want. He’ll battle into double coverage for the football.”
It appears the biggest reason Cooper, a two-time All-Southeastern Conference selection, is his lack of blazing speed. He ran 40-yard dash times of 4.61 and 4.69 at USC’s Pro Day.
“I like the quickness,” said McShay. “He’s not a top-end speed guy. He didn’t run very well at his pro day. I know he was disappointed with that.
“I didn’t see great speed on tape, but that doesn’t mean he is not a good player. He shows a lot of toughness, does a really good job for his size going up and getting the football in the air, competing for the ball in the air.”
Cooper is probably slated to play in the slot, a position he consistently lined up in for USC. That will also test his toughness.
“I think he’s got a chance to contribute,” said McShay. “I like him as a slot receiver, a guy who will do the dirty work across the middle of the field.”
Kiper believes Cooper has the ability to do whatever is necessary to make a positive contribution.
“I don’t know what he’s lacking,” said Kiper. “I understand the measurable aren’t that favorable. But, to get him in the fourth round for (Rams first round pick, quarterback) Jared Goff and also get (tight end) Tyler Higbee and (wide receiver) Michael Thomas. They did a nice job bringing in some pass catching options.
“But I think Cooper will be a steal in the fourth round. There were some player I didn’t even think were even close to him, in terms of grade and ability that went higher.”

You got that right NJRam! Yeah he runs funny....Funny like a fox!
After the catch, Cooper views the field like a point guard. He makes up for his strait line speed with well timed jukes and angles. Oh My God the ANGLES! After the Catch, Cooper always takes the optimum angle, forcing multiple defenders to chase Cooper further, easily making up for any lack of speed.
Another thing...Cooper spots seams in the defense very quickly, and once Cooper spies the seam, hemakes for the seam like a laser beam. That's why he's so effective on Punt returns.
