Eagles’ $90,000 gamble was a long shot. Now he’s a breakout candidate: ‘I’m going to be a dog’

In a thrilling moment during Philadelphia Eagles training camp, rookie wide receiver Darius Cooper made a remarkable one-handed catch in the end zone, despite the referees ruling it incomplete due to lack of both feet being inbounds. As a second-year undrafted free agent from small-school Tarleton State, Cooper's breakout performance serves as a testament to his potential and determination to improve.

The Eagles signed Cooper to a $90,000 guaranteed contract last year, placing him sixth among undrafted free agents in the team's class. Despite being considered a long shot entering training camp, Cooper has proven himself as an ascending talent and is now being viewed as a breakout candidate. The talented wide receiver continues to fine-tune his skills and work hard on both offense and special teams, displaying an unwavering mindset of being "a dog" in his performance.
