Pharoh Cooper was a Pro Bowler.

Around here they have a different title for him.

He’s a practice-squadder with the Giants. That doesn’t mean much on gamedays when he is elevated, as he was this past Sunday for his first game with the team. He handled all of the returning duties for the team and even got some reps as a wide receiver despite having been with the organization for just a few days.
