Cowboys Host Omar Cooper for Pre-Draft Visit

0:00On March 26th, the Dallas Cowboys already boasts one of the league's top wide receiver groups with CD-LAM and George Pickens leading the way. Still, they're not closing the door on adding more talent, as former Indiana standout Omar Cooper Jr. is set to visit Dallas for a pre-draft. Workout This comes amid talk from head coach Brian Shahnheimer about staying open to strong offensive players in the upcoming draft. Cooper, a 22-year-old who helped Indiana win a national championship last season, put up impressive numbers with 69 catches for 9, 137 yards, and 13 touchdowns. Over four college years, he tallied 115 receptions, 1,798 yards, and 22 scores, plus some, rushing ability. Team officials seem intrigued, despite defensive needs and picks at number 12 and number 20 overall. Shahnheimer has made it clear, they won't pass on a top offensive prospect just to feel holes elsewhere, especially after a strong 20.

1:0125 season where Dallas ranked first in passing yards. Projections have Cooper going somewhere in the third to fifth spot among receivers, which could align nicely with that number 20 pick. His slot and outside versatility would complement Pickens and give the offense fresh looks. Either way, this visit lets the Cowboys evaluate a player who might end up with a divisional rival like Philadelphia or New York, keeping them one. Step ahead no matter what happens next.
