Jets Host WR Prospect Omar Cooper Jr. as Interest Mounts Ahead of Draft

The visit signals a push to secure a true No. 2 target alongside Garrett Wilson.

Overview

  • New York brought Indiana wideout Omar Cooper Jr. in for a top-30 visit, with ESPN’s Jordan Reid reporting the team is extremely high on the receiver.
  • The Jets own picks No. 16 and No. 33, and reporting outlines options that include selecting Cooper at 16 or trading up from 33 by packaging a fourth-round pick.
  • Cooper posted 69 catches, 937 yards, and 13 touchdowns last season, drawing praise for yards-after-catch burst and slot/outside versatility, with some concern about contested catches.
  • Interest is broad across the league, as teams such as Dallas, Washington, New Orleans, Carolina, San Francisco, Denver, Cleveland, Philadelphia, and Tennessee have hosted him on visits.
  • Head coach Aaron Glenn has said, “If you love the player, go get the player,” a stance that points to an aggressive move if the Jets decide Cooper fits as Garrett Wilson’s running mate.
