The Green Bay Packers seem like a team on the cusp of becoming a Super Bowl contender, with one of the NFL's youngest lineups and up-and-coming stars at key positions like quarterback Jordan Love and linebacker Quay Walker.
Adding another young star to the mix could be just the edge the defense needs to win hard-fought playoff games, like their 21-14 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Divisional Round following the 2023 season.
Rookie linebacker Edgerrin Cooper might be that difference maker, with the 6-foot-2, 229-pound Texas A&M product already winning over teammates in the offseason, including Walker (via NFL.com):
He's showing flashes, getting downhill, playing, flying around. I just tell him, 'Don't do no thinking, bro. Just fly around. If you mess up, it is what it is. You a rookie. Just take what you can learn … and go from there.'
Cooper, the No. 45 overall pick, signed a four-year, $8.59 million rookie contract.
