Rutgers DB with a versatile, hard-nosed defensive-back background
Mezo Cooper is a Rutgers defensive back whose profile points to versatility and a blue-collar edge: he was a multi-position high school athlete, later listed at 6-foot, 215 pounds, and spent time in the Rutgers program before continuing his college career at Rhode Island. His value is less about flashy stat lines and more about adaptable defensive skill, size, and the kind of athlete who can fit multiple roles in a secondary or special-teams package. That makes him interesting for a team that wants toughness, flexibility, and experience over pure hype.
