When the next group of NFL hopeful wide receivers takes the field Saturday attempting to impress scouts with a speedy 40-yard dash time, South Carolina's Pharoh Cooper will not be among them. Cooper will participate in other drills, but due to a quad injury, he is likely pulling out to avoid disappointing scouts with a slow time.
Coming into the week, Cooper was in need of an above average 40 time to solidify his second-round projection or move up into first-round territory. The chance to make a big impression is not lost however, as Cooper is expected to be ready to run at South Carolina's pro day on March 30.
