Draft Scouting Report

Summary
If you can get past the gimmicky route tree that Cooper ran this past fall, you’ll see an incredibly well-rounded receiver. Cooper has great play strength, hands, burst and YAC ability. If you go back to his 2024 tape, where he played on the outside, you see an impressive vertical receiver as well. There’s more than enough on tape over the past two seasons to forgive his relatively late breakout.
About
- 2025: Tied for third in FBS in receiving TD (13)
- 2024: Led Big Ten in yards per reception (21.2)
Strengths
- Numerous ways to break tackles after the catch; exceptional balance.
- Explosive out of breaks; leaves defenders reeling.
- Great hands over the middle of the field; rugged player.
Weaknesses
- Afterthought in the Indiana offense until his senior season; late breakout.
- Gets by more as an athlete than a technician as a route runner.
- Limited slot route tree.
Combine Data
- 40-yard dash: 4.42 seconds
- Vertical jump: 37 inches

Jets' Omar Cooper: Selected by Jets
The Jets selected Cooper in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 30th overall.
Cooper (6-feet, 199 pounds) was a productive player in his fourth season at Indiana, though less so in the prior three years. Cooper's 4.42-second 40-yard dash verified that he has real NFL speed to leverage his otherwise standout ability after the catch. The Jets pass-catcher rotation is suddenly somewhat crowded after adding Cooper and TE Kenyon Sadiq, so it's not clear how many targets will be left after Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell get their reps.
