STM Take
Tier 1 (#2) rookie 2024 STTM peak to tier 8 (#60) sophomore 2025 collapse is one of the largest single-year regressions for a recent rookie All-Pro-pace LB. The Texas A&M SEC 2nd-round origin plus the Packers' Jeff Hafley defensive scheme appears to have been the year-one catalyst. The 2026 question is whether Cooper returns to tier 2-3 territory or whether the 2024 finish was a one-year context spike.
Cooper came out of Texas A&M as the Green Bay Packers' 2nd-round pick (45th overall) in 2024 after earning 2023 First-Team All-SEC honors. He delivered a tier 1 (#2) STTM rookie breakout in 2024 anchoring the Packers' linebacker corps. His STTM career runs tier 1 (#2) rookie peak in 2024 to tier 8 (#60) collapse in 2025.
Strengths
- Rookie tier 1 (#2) STTM peak as a 45th overall 2nd-round pick puts him in the rarest outlier-positive rookie class at the LB position.
- Texas A&M SEC 2024 All-SEC honors plus the Packers' Jeff Hafley defensive scheme gives him real college and developmental foundation.
Concerns
- 58-spot regression from tier 1 (#2) rookie to tier 8 (#60) sophomore is one of the largest single-year LB regressions in recent memory.
- Green Bay's broader defensive identity around the Jeff Hafley first-year scheme puts continued Cooper ceiling partly scheme-dependent.
What to watch: Whether Cooper returns to tier 2 (top 15) in 2026, the threshold for confirming the rookie ceiling was structural rather than a one-year situational spike.
