Richie Cooper brings compact-playmaker juice for Akron
Richie Cooper’s Akron profile is that of a smaller but active slot-style receiver: in the 2015 season, he appeared in seven games with one start and finished with 6 receptions for 49 yards, while his high school résumé showed return-game value and all-state recognition. The appeal is his quickness, versatility, and willingness to contribute on offense and special teams, which can make him a useful fit if a team wants a shifty, competitive receiver who can create after the catch. The caution: his listed production is modest, so the upside hinges on whether that burst translates to a bigger weekly role.
