Darius Cooper is an unsigned UDFA WR the Eagles are reportedly eyeing for depth behind Brown and Smith. His NFL path will depend on camp performance, special-teams value, and how quickly he learns Philly’s playbook and routes.

Darius Cooper, UDFA breakout candidate, earned a spot on the practice squad; poised to contribute as a versatile receiver if opportunities arise.

Cooper’s undrafted Tarleton State background and bulk, athletic profile earned him the final WR job, beating out Smith and veterans. His development arc is a core theme, suggesting a potential role if he continues to develop, with more opportunities likely as the season progresses.

Cooper earns a roster spot as a high-upside weapon behind the top two, with Dodson and Metchie providing situational routes for increased targets. Cooper’s chance to establish Week 1 relevance hinges on reps and the Eagles' rotation, creating a swing-seat opportunity for deeper leagues.

Cooper rose from undrafted free agent to camp crush, flashing big-game potential in practice and the Bengals game, including a leaping TD catch. His Jets stat line didn’t wow, but his path to a practice-squad return or 53-man slot hinges on unclaimed waivers and roster needs.
