I'm talking about his athleticism and quickness, not a specific run here or there.

When this year is over go watch dukes hs tape then coopers and you'll see. Duke was a beast in the league while being undersized. He was mismanaged in Cleveland and at UM. His HS film was absurd. I'm not taking about a play here or there I'm talking about **** near every clip. In fact **** his hs film watch his UM highlights still absurd. Duke and Lamar Miller are the best two backs we have had since Gore and I would give the nod to Duke between the two.

This is tangential and I'm not sure what you're talking about. I don't believe you comprehend what I said initially on this subject.

Please re-read the thread if you please, but this is not responsive to the point I was making.

I'm talking about Dukes contact balance, physicality for a back his size, and short area burst. When those traits are elite they explode off the film and they did in Dukes highlight. I have seen nothing from Cooper in the same stratosphere as Duke Johnson and if it isnt on tape yet it is unlikely it's going to show up.

Im under the impression you think Cooper is on Dukes level. I would argue against it, certainly if the basis for that assessment is the 98 yd td clip in this thread.

Duke got too big and muscular. He is one of my favorite Miami players ever dude was a gamer and a Cane through and through. Great human off the field too

One thing about Lingard is that he looked a lot smaller in person than in his highlights. Cooper is actually a big kid. Legit 6’1 and easily 200+.

I get the stiffness concerns but he is so big, fast and tough that he should succeed in a good offense.

I don't think he's nearly as good as this comparison, but I think Adrien Peterson might be it, just because he's a long strider and fast and an upright style that's pretty physical.

AP has more wiggle and was a bruiser too.

Poor man AP is the best way to put it, which still isn't bad at all.

Perfect RB with the way Mario built the OL. He would eat in this offense.
