As first noted by defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley earlier this month, Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur confirmed linebacker Edgerrin Cooper has gained considerable weight -- good weight -- ahead of his second NFL season.
In fact, LaFleur said Cooper -- who was listed at 229 pounds and played at around 220 pounds at times during his rookie season -- is now up near 240 pounds, and the easy-moving linebacker is still as explosive as ever.
"He's so much more confident. Certainly, his body looks different. He's like 240 pounds now," LaFleur said after Wednesday's OTA session.
