After a disappointing rookie season, Pharoh Cooper found his niche during his second year in the NFL.
The former South Carolina standout, who played in just 10 games as a rookie and battled injuries, blossomed into one of the NFL’s best special teams’ performers and played a hand in the Los Angeles Rams’ playoff run.
Cooper was second in the league in kickoff returns with 932 yards and averaged 27.4 yards per return. He was also second in punt returns with 399 yards, was a Pro Bowl selection and a first team Associated Press selection.
“I’m more smart and a complete player as far as special teams and a receiver,” Cooper said at DJ Swearinger’s Charity basketball game.
