Mini bio
How it started.
Cooper grew up in Odebolt, Iowa, and played quarterback and defensive back at OA-BCIG High School. His athletic life extended to basketball, baseball and track, including state titles in the long jump and 100-meter dash as a senior.
The Iowa years.
At Iowa, he became a playmaker on defense and punt returns. He set the school’s single-season record with three interception-return touchdowns in 2022. In 2023, he was a unanimous consensus All-American and won the Big Ten’s defensive back and return specialist of the year honors.
A birthday to remember.
Philadelphia selected him 40th overall in 2024. He entered the starting lineup in Week 6 of his rookie season, then delivered a moment Eagles fans will remember: a pick-six against Patrick Mahomes in Super Bowl LIX on his 22nd birthday.
Beyond the field.
In May 2025, Cooper and Reed Blankenship launched Exciting Mics, opening up about football and life while welcoming celebrity guests. His second NFL season brought his first Pro Bowl selection and AP first-team All-Pro honors. In October 2026, he helped introduce the All Dubs mobile game as a launch ambassador.
