The Philadelphia Eagles-Widers Heaver Group might soon feature some matching last names

this fall.

They already have AJ Day.

Brown and just sign Hollywood Brown, so two Browns could stick around if AJ stays put.

On the other side, drafting Indiana's Omar Cooper would pair him with current undrafted

guy Darius Cooper.

That scenario depends on a few moves.

Hollywood Brown looks set on the roster, but Darius faces stiff competition again.

The team added depth with players like Johnny Wilson coming back from injuries, plus Britain

Covey, Danny Gray, and Quest Watkins all vying for spots.

Darius Cooper earned his place last season as an undrafted free agent from small school

Tarleton State.

He played in 26% of offensive snaps, mostly blocking, but shining when targeted with nine catches

out of 11 for 92 yards.

All laid in the year.

He signed a three-year deal worth about $1 million this season, the kind of budget-friendly

talent General Manager Howie Roseman loves a mid.

Big contracts for stars.

Cooper built confidence by securing every ball that hit his hands and working hard against

top defenders.

Looking ahead, Cooper plans to break down routes into phases, release, middle, and finish,

to win at least two out of three.

With training camp looming, Hill need that edge to repeat his roster spot in the crowded

room.
